Death with Interruptions | Jos� Saramago

I reread a handful of stuff each year! I probably would if I read less but I always think after 100 new books I should be able to reread some favorites. I also have a terrible memory so often it feels like I am reading it for the first time 😹

Some I have reread the most -
Persuasion -Austen
Shadow of the Wind - Zafon

This year I plan to reread some Saramago books I am most looking forward to a third read of Death With Interruptions.

Advice for Future Corpses (and Those Who Love Them): A Practical Perspective on Death and Dying | Sallie Tisdale

My Advanced Directives are officially completed and notarized! It feels so good to have this done, and it was fun. Death/Dying are usually not things anyone wants to talk/think about. But we should be. It‘s the most natural thing in the world; we‘re all going to do it one day. So live your most authentic life, & plan ahead. We are not promised the next moment. You‘ll be glad you got your legal documents done, your friends & family will be too.

Soubhiville Very smart advice. 2d

JenniferEgnor @Soubhiville I‘ve been meaning to get it done for several months. Now that the medical part is done, I can start the living will portion. My husband and I plan to move within the next year or so 🤞🏻, up north. We do not like where we live, and what I want for my final disposition is not available here. I wanted to get this done, just in case…I left very specific instructions. I know that my side of the family would not honor what I ask for⬇️ 2d

JenniferEgnor So I‘ve arranged for designated persons to ensure it happens, should death occur before I get to leave this state. 2d

dabbe My husband and I plan to get the ball rolling on this this summer. His skin cancer and my breast biopsy really put things in perspective. Great advice! 🤩😀🤗 2d

bibliothecarivs @JenniferEgnor What was the process where you live? 1d

JenniferEgnor @bibliothecarivs do you mean for final disposition? 1d

bibliothecarivs @JenniferEgnor Getting the advanced directives completed. 1d

JenniferEgnor @bibliothecarivs filling them out with as much detail as I could about what I do and don‘t want, listing power of attorney designees, and being with a witness so they could sign, then getting it notarized. 21h

TieDyeDude There are so many great options besides being buried in a box. It's a shame options are so limited in many places. 1h

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 🫖.

Bookwomble Beautiful review 💖 4d

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 🫖.

Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers | Mary Roach

pick

On the whole, Stiff has held up well, and remains an excellent read for anyone who‘s curious about the macabre (or simply has the stomach for the more gruesome aspects of medical history). Full review: https://keepingupwiththepenguins.com/stiff-mary-roach/

Reggie I want to get freeze dried and shaken apart into mulch when I die due to this book. Lol 5d

The Year of Pleasures: A Novel | Elizabeth Berg

1. I don't often go on picnics, but I'd take either hard-boiled eggs, deviled eggs, or an egg salad sandwich. Homemade iced tea to drink.

2. The tagged book 📖
