Actually, I *just* finished _Will You Miss Me When I'm Gone_. I wasn't sure what I thought of it academically, but it was sure interesting in terms of the personalities it conveys.

My mom's pretty upset--we like the Carters and Johnny Cash both and "Ring of Fire" is one of her all-time favorites.

I wish I had something meaningful to add, too, but I don't, I just don't know anyone else who would appreciate the loss.
