    Book Discussion - Being Alive and Having to Die

    Hello everybody. Sorry for waiting until after fifty posts to put up an introduction. My mind tends to be a bit spacey at times and I just didn't get around to it because I've been engrossed in the fantastic posts on the forums. Hopefully I can bring a little bit to the conversations.
