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.
If you're a cynic you're not going to like this book but if you are ready to empathize and let your feelings guide you through this book you will not be disappointed.
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.
