In My Time of Dying by Sebastian Junger

In My Time of Dying: How I Came Face to Face with the Idea of an AfterlifeIn My Time of Dying: How I Came Face to Face with the Idea of an Afterlife by Sebastian Junger
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

In My Time of Dying: How I Came Face to Face with the Idea of an Afterlife starts off like a thriller as the author is rushed from home to the hospital for what is eventually diagnosed as a ruptured aneurysm in a pancreatic artery and internal hemorrhage. The bulk of the book is about his time in the hospital, including a "near death experience" vision of his late father, and alternates with other perilous experiences in his life as a war journalist. The latter part of the book hopscotches between physics, death and spirituality and my interest waned.
