When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi

article image placeholderWhen Breath Becomes Air Audiobook on Libro.fm
I will say it did make me cry at one point, and oftentimes if a book can make me cry, it's usually like an immediate five stars for me, but I couldn't do that with this book. I'm really curious what you all think about this book, because I know some some people who just were completely blown away. It made their top list. It's one of their favorite books, so really hoping to hear more

I wanted to give this book 5 ⭐️ but I couldn't #loriandlltbbookhive2021 https://s.swell.life/SSMmIdhj51vY8NH

I cannot convince you to give it five stars because I personally would have only rated it at a three star, maybe a two and a half. So sorry, I can't. The book that really for me as far as End of Life Book goes is absolutely. Hands down. Randy Pasha's, the last lecture after reading that book, when I read End of Life books, it falls short of the last lecture. And I don't know, it just does

@bookishpodcast Thank you!

I definitely read it. So I went to my Goodreads and I looked and yes, I did read it. I gave it four stars in 2009, and it's interesting seeing my friends on Goodreads. Three of them rated at five stars. Then there's like, one three star, and then there's one two star even. But the guy who gave it two star is very cold. So I'm not that surprised. He's like, Mr. Million Cold Hearts

I don't remember. But again, I compared it to the last lecture. So I just want to let you know that. And regarding the book hive, you are very welcome. I want to say thank you to you for playing. I'm glad you're doing it. I hope you can work along and figure out the longest path, which means if you just pretty much connect, everything go from the bottom, and it's just a spiral path. It's long as connected path

@bookishpodcast The Year of Magical Thinking!?

Anyways, I am glad you remembered. It the book that immediately comes to mind for me, which it's not really considered end of life, I guess, because it's not written by someone who is at the end of life or who is sick and knows that they'll be passing away

So many books so little time @bowie

I've heard about it so much that I thought I want to read it. I just purchased it. Which means, I don't know when I'm going to read it, but a man searched for meaning. I know you said it was amazing, and I remember a small conversation about that. Or you were telling someone else. So, yeah, I want to see what that one's like. And it's just really so many books. So little time. I thought this year
