Your suggestions for the last book you read before you die!

1) Dead tree

2)From SOL

Imagine you have 2 weeks to live! What would you choose?

p.s

I saw Naples (Napoli) over 50 years ago

Salman Rushdie's 'Midnight's Children'. Less than 1% of people who start the book actually finish it. Therefore if you start it as the last book you'd ever read, you'd never die because you'd never finish it.

Answering purely for myself:

1) Faith and Practice, Intermountain Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends

2) A New Past, Charlie Foxtrot

If I "knew" I only had two weeks to live, I would not spend them reading.

Probably so.
Still, the time would be better spent with family rather than reading.
I am a voracious reader by habit. I've had to tone that down in the last two decades. Passing on to my son what my father did to me takes precedence as does spending time with my wife.

The end is nigh

Bill Nye The Science Guy is going to destroy the world? I always did think there was something suspicious about him. :)

I think you have never encountered a terminal human." weeks to live means your body has pretty much shut down.

How nice, you have a family.

I could believe Bill Nighy would destroy the world

I believe that the OP was referring to an "end of the world" event rather than an individual with a terminal illness.

That's how I understood it.

You'd be wrong on that. Both of my parents died of cancers.

Not necessarily. If you're at the point where you're on hospice because you're 96 years old, then yeah, things like that happen. If you've simply (as it were) have totally inoperable cancer because it wasn't found in time to do anything at all - you suddenly find yourself with Stage 4 liver cancer or lymphatic cancer - then, yeah, you've got days or weeks to live, and that's it. You may NOT feel bad at all, either.
