I reviewed the books The Denial of Death, and Escape From Evil, both by Ernest Becker. I think, taken together, Denial of Death & Escape From Evil are the most important books I have read in the last 10 years.

Dame Deborah James talking about when she moved into end-of-life hospice care at home:

"I am not brave - I am not dignified going towards my death - I am simply a scared girl who is doing something she has no choice in but I know I am grateful for the life that I have had."

— Dame Deborah James 1982-2022
