I have a list of books – those that impacted me heavily or were just very fascinating or fun to read – that I will read again near the end of my life as a curtain call. These books added something significant to my life or made me very happy, and I'd love to experience those books again when I know that I have only 2-3 years left.
My "The Epilogues" list:
-
East Of Eden, John Steinbeck
-
Demon Copperhead, Barbara Kingsolver
-
Shuggie Bain, Douglas Stuart
-
Harry Potter series, JK Rowling
-
Murderbot Diaries, Martha Stewart
-
2001: A Space Odyssey, Arthur Clarke
-
The First Fifteen Lives Of Harry August, Claire North
-
Monk And Robot series, Becky Chambers
-
The Dispossessed, Ursula K Le Guin
-
Earthsea Series, Ursula K Le Guin
-
Cosmos, Carl Sagan
-
Entangled Life, Merlin Sheldrake
-
Through Two Doors At Once, Anil Ananthaswamy
The list will likely grow, I'm in my mid 30s now. The plan is, if I can, in my 70s or 80s when I know the end is near, I'd love to read the ones on this list again, before the curtains close.
