The End of Your Life Book Club Reading Challenge
This 2011 memoir tells the story of Mary Anne Schwalbe, and how, during her treatment for cancer, she and her son Will spent many hours sitting in waiting rooms together. To pass the time, they would talk about the books they were reading. Once, by chance, they read the same book at the same time—and an informal book club of two was born. Through their wide-ranging reading, Will and Mary Anne—and we, their fellow readers—are reminded how books can be comforting, astonishing, and illuminating, changing the way that we feel about and interact with the world around us.
A list of the books discussed in Will Scwalbe’s biography memoir is available on Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ here.
Rules: In this challenge, you review the list and decide how many of the books mentioned in The End of Your Life Book Club you would like to read. Again, the complete list is available on Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ here.
Duration: There is no time limit to this challenge.
