Strangely enough, since I just bought an iPad, this may be the last book I ever buy in print:

I’m perfectly aware of this edition. I haven’t actually read it yet, as I didn’t want anything from this book to make it into my own, though I’m sure there are parallels, as my book’s also about death:

This contemporary and uniquely American interpretation of the timeless Tibetan spiritual classic, The Tibetan Book of the Dead, is an invaluable resource for anyone undergoing a spiritual crisis, preparing for death, or wishing to honor loved ones. Gold inspires readers to transform their attitudes toward death so that–ultimately–they learn to live. Illustrations.

My novel doesn’t follow the structure of the Tibetan Book of the Dead as something like Jacob’s Ladder.

Nice post about EJ Gold’s book here.
