Most Read This Week In Death

[close] haha imagine not being in this amazing book club. losers

[close] This is a discworld readthrough community, following the schedule of the discworld podcast Who Watches the Watch. The podcast available here (https://who-watches-the-watch.pinecast.co/) is a fun (but very intellectual) podcast in which four pals read through Terry Pratchett's Discworld, talk about left-wing politics, and have a riotous good time while they're about it. This community is being created here somewhat after our start, but there is still the vast majority of the discworld series to get through, not to mention the upcoming The Watch TV show, as well as the already existing adaptations.

[close] Each month a theme will be set with a suggested book for each age group (adult, young adult, 8-12 years, young children). You do not have to stick to your age group, it's just to provide a little something for everyone. Some months adult themes may be included, there will be a warning given prior if this is the case. If you add a book to the tbr please let a moderator know the key themes, genres and age range that it falls under.

[close] This group is for anyone who is Death Positive, death doulas, end-of-life midwives, hospice workers/volunteers, and anyone who has ever or will ever experience a death (yes, that means YOU!). We encourage open, honest discussion about the one thing that we are all guaranteed in this life, Death. My hope is that we can dull the fears, and return the sacredness of death to our universal consciousness, to allow everyone to live their unique life to its fullest until their last exhale. "We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born The potential people who could have been here in my place But who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Sahara Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA So massively exceeds the set of actual people In the teeth of those stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here We privileged few, who won the lottery of birth against all odds How dare we whine at our inevitable return to that prior state From which the vast majority have never stirred?" -Richard Dawkins
