Any recommendations for a good book about winter that makes me glad I can sit outside and read for a couple more months?
Will Schwalbe
What a cool question! One idea would be SMILLA'S SENSE OF SNOW by Peter Hoeg. It's a thriller and it has a lot about, well, snow. Two non-fiction books I can very highly recommend (I actually edited both of them when I was at Hyperion) are ADA BLACKJACK and THE ICE MASTER by Jennifer Niven. Both are amazing true stories of the Arctic. ADA BLACKJACK chronicles one woman's survival against unimaginable odds; THE ICE MASTER is about a disastrous voyage of exploration. Another idea would be INTO THIN AIR by John Krakauer, which is about an Everest expedition that goes terribly awry.

I was gifted your book over three years ago as a gift from a book lover. It was just as my Step Father was coming out of a 7 1/2 year remission from lung cancer and was given the news that it was back with a vengeance. When read your book he had passed on, I felt his presence in your memories of your mothers zest for life. My mother was devistated and gave up reading. Book suggestions to share with survivors?

Do you have a comprehensive list of the books mentioned in The End of Your Life Book Club? I have a personal goal to read them all, if I live that long. I did notice that you started a group here on Goodreads and that the book shelf has 1 book, Crossing to Safety. I would love to get that book shelf updated and will help if you have no one else to do it. I am from Melbourne Fl - 33 miles north of Vero Beach
