What an empathetic book! How tender. How bittersweet. How deeply poignant. For a book so absorbed with death, it's strangely life affirming, and isn't that such a wonderful paradox? It emanates such fierce humanity that it's a palpable thing, an innate goodness that you get to hold in your hands with all the messy complications of this equally terrifying and wonderful business we call life and death. I can't resist returning again and again 🫖.

I love this journey more than anything, which is why I can't resist returning to this cosy world of ghosts and tea shops again and again 🫖.

Mehso-so

Not really what I expected. A small town in Minnesota gets national attention when some of the residents start receiving calls from heaven. Not everyone is getting the calls, so some think it's a hoax.

I don't know really what I was expecting from this book, but what I got wasn't it. It is totally different from Tuesdays with Morrie. I loved Tuesdays with Morrie so much, but this one was just meh.

I'm of the mind that I'm family now, since this is my third time reading this book! 🫖

This was a fast, fun, quirky read. What happens after we die? Where do we go, what do we do? Humans have come up with all kinds of interesting, weird, and scary answers. This book explores that within mythology, religion, performance arts, literature, and film. The subject/reality of death and dying is becoming less stigmatized as we have deeper conversations about it. This book is one of the things that helps that goal. My favorite section⬇️

JenniferEgnor was the one about Chinese tradition. Fascinating! But I also have a soft spot for Hieronymus Bosch…so I was delighted to find this section, and even happier that the demonic butt cheek sheet music was mentioned. I have this painting on my stairwell. 3w
