With these sales, I have a feeling my kindle library is going to end up like my Steam library: filled a lot of nice stuff that goes untouched for years

My Kindle library is worse than my Steam library.... In both cases, it largely goes untouched.

Have to agree that it's a sad book. It's a beautiful book and has sold million copies (I think), but I couldn't read more than first few pages without getting depressed. I will not read it for that reason.

I left a post being confused with "Being Mortal", so this is an edit. Yes, this indeed was a depressing book. It's still worth a read in my opinion, especially if you have ones that will require some form of serious or prolonged care anytime soon.

That's like saying Watership Down is too depressing to read so it's "not worth reading", and yet the book is about perseverance, comrodery, and triumph. It isn't for YOU but doesn't mean it isn't worth a read.
