In each chapter, he discusses a particular book and how it relates to concerns we all share. These books span centuries and genres--from \u003ci\u003eStuart Little\u003c\/i\u003e to \u003ci\u003eThe Girl on the Train\u003c\/i\u003e, from \u003ci\u003eDavid Copperfield \u003c\/i\u003eto \u003ci\u003eWonder\u003c\/i\u003e, from \u003ci\u003eGiovanni's Room \u003c\/i\u003eto\u003ci\u003e Rebecca\u003c\/i\u003e, and from \u003ci\u003e1984\u003c\/i\u003e to \u003ci\u003eGifts from the Sea\u003c\/i\u003e. Throughout, Schwalbe tells stories from his life and focuses on the way certain books can help us honor those we've loved and lost, and also figure out how to live each day more fully.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/05\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804172752\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.30w x 0.80d","brand":"Will Schwalbe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43067642871989,"sku":"9780804172752","price":13.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_f104f624-9e27-4cff-83be-9ff99574e06a.jpg?v=1690862054","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/books-for-living-some-thoughts-on-reading-reflecting-and-embracing-life-9780804172752","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
