“Death Interrupted” by Jose Saramago

 This was an odd book. The first half was a satire on society, by imagining what would happen if people stopped dying. In the second half, it dealt with death as a female entity and actually became a love story.

“The Thursday Murder Club” by Richard Osman

 This was an enjoyable book. It was fun reading about competent senior citizens who accepted the reality of aging. There were, however, a few too many suicides due to enduring love and guilt.
