Nice pepe old timer.
I don't know that I will have read much you haven't already, I thought Circe by Madeline Miller was pretty good.

Something that inspires hope in the new generation. Or some fun grand fantasy that will let you flex your brain before you hit the great beyond. You've read to learn, read for fun. The guy reccomending you turner diaries is attempting to do the opposite of letting you rest in peace.

"The gods are bastards" is a good one. A mix of american western and fantasy, but a pretty new work by the standards of /lit.

depends on how much you have left
after all there is a difference between having 39 years till you hit 120... or having 1 till 82

does imagining that you chew Toblerone make you wince in pain??
I'm not even half your age but my teef took 3 days to recover from angrily chewing a tube of authentic Swiss Toblerone... so I can't even imagine doing that when your teeth are less than 100%

What haven't you read?

You should also be writing, especially if you have descendants, even more especially if those descendants have descendants.

I met an 82-year-old dude on a walk in the park and he told me he's deciphered the proper tonal meaning of the grave and circumflex accents in accent Greek. Then he recited part of the Iliad.
