I read Fear Of Flying when I was young and it was enlightening to a country girl.
As I got older I reread it and thought it was kind of self indulgent but it was still an important book for me.
I am going to find Fear Of Dying to read, thanks for posting about it. I am a little long in the tooth as well, age 67 but have severe COPD with some complications and I doubt I will see 77 but who knows what will happen.
