Death is, while an integral part of the human experience and an important aspect of society and culture, something that is hidden and/or avoided by most folks. Western society especially has a degree of separation that I find unfortunate—thinking about something as permanent as death is scary, especially if you're unfamiliar with the industry that handles it. Death can be tragic, death can be funny, death is an end and a beginning—most of all, death is inevitable. Here's a number of books I've found on my quest for information and understanding, some serious and informative and some downright hilarious. Perhaps they'll be helpful for your journey too.

Here's a fun grab bag-style collection of books I read throughout elementary, middle, and high school that got me through the simply awful drag of assigned reading. Dear reader, Ideeply dislikebeing told what to read, and as such will avoid telling you that youhaveto read these. I will, however, wholeheartedly support any that pique your interest. Many of these now sit on my shelf at home and still bring a smile to my face when I decide it's been long enough and pick them back up for a return to the adventure.

If you've ever felt ashamed returning an armful of unread library books, know that you aren't alone. I leave a trail of half-read books behind me, and many others get only a longing sigh and lingering gaze without even a glimpse between the covers. Herein are some titles I keep checking out but can never seem to find free time for; this is a grab bag of weirdness from all across MCL. I'll get around to them one day, I swear!
