The End of Your Life Book Club by Will Schwalbe

A book about reading books.  Perfect!  This book is a tribute to a woman who died from pancreatic cancer, and it's written by her son.  As she was going through cancer treatments and slowly dying, the mother and son formed a book club, and they read and discussed the books.  The mother, Mary Anne, is not just a sweet, old, seventy-something woman.  She's lead a pretty remarkable life not only having a successful career but also fundraising and volunteering to help refugees.  Her son, Will, recognizes these achievements and while it's hard to find fault with anything she did, the book does get to be a bit tedious when he continues to sing her praises.  However, I loved hearing about the books they chose to read and the conversations they had regarding them.  I confess I skimmed some of the book to get to these highlights.  -June
