Listed on April 15, 2008 - CNN reviews new book on life and death by college English professor David Shields - it's called The Thing about Life Is That One Day You'll Be Dead. It's about his father, his thoughts about carpe diem, and about why we have trouble talking about death, sometimes. [Knopf, 2008]

From the review: "But Shields is cold-eyed when it comes to mortality itself. Death may be an immovable, incontrovertible truth of life, but it remains an often taboo subject in our society, he observes."
