For Will Schwalbe, reading was a way to reinvent himself, learn about the world, and find answers to life's questions, big and small. In each chapter, he discusses a specific book and an issue of common concern. The books cover centuries and genres: from Stewart to The Girl on the Train, from David Copperfield to Miracle, from Giovanni's Room to Rebecca, from 1984 to The Gift of the Sea. After reading this book, you will find that you are no longer the same reader when you first started reading and as you finish reading. Because reading opens up new paths for you, and every book changes your life. "The Last Reading Club of Life" If you can't have both, spending time with your parents and pursuing life, what choice will you make? When the author Will Schwalbe was at the peak of his career, which was both glorious and exhausting, his mother was suddenly diagnosed with terminal cancer. Between the dilemma, Will chose to accompany his mother through her final days. But Will never knew how to communicate and get along naturally with his mother until they started reading a book together. During the regularly scheduled reading sessions, they began a journey of dialogue about the breadth of reading and the depth of life. From popular thrillers to classic bestsellers, from poetry to suspense stories, from whimsy to spiritual exploration... Through reading, they discussed many topics such as courage, faith, companionship, loneliness, gratitude, learning, listening, and even funerals, sharing their respective attitudes and perspectives on words and life. Through reading, they face death calmly, understand each other deeply, and heal themselves at the same time. A good book can be a torch in our confused and dark life.
