Must Reads for Baby Boomers

downsizing the family homeBeing Mortal

There are two books we Baby Boomer MUST READ, both as children of aging parents, and as aging parents ourselves. One is Being Mortal, by Atul Gawande. The second is Downsizing the Family Home, by Marni Jameson. Do not put this off.  Thank me later.

Central Florida shoppers can find these titles at independent bookstores like Bookmark It or Writer’s Block. If you like to buy books online, consider benefitting a charity like the Kerouac House Project when you order from the big guys.
