Remember You Will Die

for leisure

a pretty interesting concept/idea for a book, to have it mostly obituaries 

> originally recommended to me by Jessi D (who's name is in the acknowledgements!) who had heard me talk about the Obit documentary (interestingly enough, the section on an obit-writer I found kind of boring because I had watched the obit documentary and got similar ideas haha) 

didn't necessarily take too much from the Poppy through-line...but whatever 

also an interesting amount of nudity/stripping motifs 

but I quite liked the section on the fake movie "Wilgefortis"[p. 97-102] thought that was pretty interesting focus on an artist with a Heaven's-gate type movie disaster, enjoyed that

> generally enjoyed the focuses on art 

I'm sure there's more you could take from this book...but I liked the world it built

and even though I didn't really love it--they're are definitely some sections to get a little too treacle-y sweet, and at some moments it reallyyy hypes up art stuff--but it honestly would be probably work pretty well if I ever wanted to recommend it for the Logan Square book club haha 

★★★

good concept, some sections better than others
