Millard Salter's Last Day

Millard Salter's Last Day is the story of a man looking back on his life as he goes through his last day. Millard doesn't want to linger too long. He doesn't want to be a burden or suffer the indignity of returning to a helpless state. At the end of the day, he plans to take his own life.

We follow Millard as he meets with psychiatric patients, colleagues, his adult son, and visits his second wife's grave. His day is filled with interesting events, and Millard comes to realize he won't leave this earth without some regrets.

I found this book to be genuinely thought-provoking. The characters and circumstances of the story were unexpected, and Millard's slightly grumpy but thoughtful outlook made this a refreshing read. This would be a perfect pick for a book club!
