To die, kick the bucket, to meet your Maker, dead as a doornail, get whacked, smoked, bite the dust, sleep with the fishes, go six feet under—whatever death is called, it's going to happen. In 1789 Ben Franklin wrote, "In this world nothing is certain but death and taxes." Death remains a certainty. But how do we die? It's the enormous variety of how that enlivens final exits. According to death certificates, in 1700 there were less than 100 causes of death. Today there are 3,000. With each advance of technology, people find new ways to become deceased, often causing trends that peak in the first year. People are now killed by everything, from cell phones, washing machines, lawn mowers and toothpicks, to the boundless catalog of man—made medicines. In Final Exits the causes of death—bizarre or common—are alphabetically arranged and include actual accounts of people, both famous and ordinary, who unfortunately died that way. (Ants, bad words, Bingo, bean bag chairs, flying cows, frozen toilets, hiccups, lipstick, moray eels, road kill, starfish, and toupees are only some of the more unusual causes.)

評分我小时候有种怪病,姑且称为“宇宙恐惧症”。一般入夜便发,很有些欧阳锋华山顶上苦思“我是谁我生从何来死往何去”的腔调。类似于《三国演义》里秦宓刁难张温:“天既轻清,轻清外又有何物?”着了此道,每念及生死大事,不免悲从中来,越悲越胡思乱想。求诸于书,夫子们也不...
評分我是很少被明目张胆说死这类型的书籍激发哲学思考的人 活着,好好活,越长越好,买别墅,换更大的别墅,游泳池边躺着两个比基尼美女,去加拿大滑雪,到瑞士度蜜月,一个人包下影院看一场电影,租一栋古堡开party。 我想说的意思只是,既然活着还有很多好东西值得我...
