Reviews
"Someone in need of precisely this book will pick it up, read it, and their spirit will be lifted." --Jonathan Carroll, author of Mr. Breakfast "This book is so powerful that I had to stop a couple times to stop my eyes from filling. I especially love Monninger's thoughts on nature and all life and our own existence within it and not separate from it." --Bill Taddicken, Director of the Iain Nicolson Audubon Center at Rowe Sanctuary, "A poignant, instructive account of reckoning with a terminal illness." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "...elegant, meditative memoir..." -- Shelf Awareness (starred review) "Someone in need of precisely this book will pick it up, read it, and their spirit will be lifted." --Jonathan Carroll, author of Mr. Breakfast "This book is so powerful that I had to stop a couple times to stop my eyes from filling.

Synopsis
An uplifting journey of truly seeing and appreciating what makes life worth living in the year following a terminal diagnosis For fans of Ann Patchett's These Precious Days and Joan Didion's The Year of Magical Thinking Goodbye to Clocks Ticking is an unforgettable book that tells the story of a singular year of challenges, insights, and peculiar gifts. It is also a sort of postcard from a place many of us will one day visit. After thirty-two years of teaching, Joe Monninger, an avid outdoorsman in robust health, was looking forward to a long retirement with the love of his life in a cabin beside a New England estuary. Three days after his last class, however, he's diagnosed with terminal lung cancer, even though he has not smoked for more than 30 years. It was May, and he might be dead by early fall. Soon Joe learned, however, that he was a genetic match for treatment with a drug that could not cure his cancer, but could prolong his life. With this temporary reprieve, he sets out to live life to the fullest and to write about the year of grace that follows, from his cancer treatments to his innermost thoughts. Goodbye to Clocks Ticking is a work of wisdom and insight. Joe Monninger's aubade to the world that he knew and loved offers a page-turning, suspenseful story to relish and to celebrate, to share and to discuss, to ponder and to learn from. "Full of heart and discovery." - Booklist , on Joseph Monninger's writing

- a***m (103)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseIn my 25 years of audio purchases, I have NEVER seen such quality packaging. Grills removed, surrounded by wrap and boxed separately, drivers covered with cardboard and gaffer tape, speaker corners protected with styrofoam. ASTOUNDING job to ensure I received my fairly priced item as described. I was truly impressed, so much that I'll follow their sales from now on. It is SO VERY RARE to get items shipped properly. Hats off to this seller. Sincerely, one happy customer.
