This book is a chronicle of the time the author spent with his mentor, his former college professor, in the last months of the older man's life. Their rekindled relationship turned into one final "class": lessons in how to live.

In short, I put off reading this book through the years because of life and for some reason just this morning I decided to read this book. Went to get some coffee in the morning and read the entire thing by afternoon. It touched me in many ways. It will be difficult to summarize but I would recommend this book to anyone who has ever felt love or is looking for love. This book will always hold a special place in my heart because it reminds me what it is to love. I will now pass on that love to the world.

a feel-good, (touchy-feely) book. But being critcal people, we proceeded to criticise. From there we wandered to how sequestered we have become from death, to how those dying face it, how the survivers deal with it, and what is going to happen when the baby boomers start dying. Evidentially the head librarian kicked us out so he could close up.

My father gave me this book after he was diagnosed with terminal cancer. He didn't know how else to say he loved me and needed me to reach out to him after we'd spent years mostly estranged… but this gesture meant all of that.

I don't really remember the content of the book itself, but that isn't important.
