The End of Your Life Book Club

We're all in the end of our life book club, because none of us knows which book or conversation will be the last. This is a place to pin great books and authors of all different sorts. Really any book that's meant something to you or to someone you love. Some of the books and authors I've pinned feature in my upcoming book www.theendofyourlifebookclub.com
