I love books - so reading about books is always fun for me. I also loved the idea of books bringing two people even closer together - I really believe that is one of the best things about reading! I'm planning to add a number of these books to my "to-read" list.

ON top of that, the story of the man coming to terms with his mother's impending death, and the mother's coming to terms with her own mortality, struck a chord with me. Having lost a parent to cancer, a lot of these descriptions and stories rang very true.
