I want to keep a book aside as the last book I’m going to read when I’m very, very old.

    My mother may have been a bitch, but she had this down pat - she re-read her favourite books once she hit 80, and then gave them to charity after.

    It helped clear down the house a bit and she enjoyed them one last time.

    She dropped dead randomly at 87 with zero warning (other than being old).
