Welcome to Litsy!

Informative and meaningful, author Johnson explores the most significant developments in terms of increased longevity in humans over the last century. It‘s hard to grasp that in 1920, 40 years was an average life span; and the number of reasons for longer life is astounding.

This was okay. I listened on #audio and likely wouldn‘t have stayed with it otherwise. No real new info, the parts the Dr. contributed were worthwhile and encouraging, the main author was a bit annoying and, honestly, sexist. This one hasn‘t aged well but the basic premise, keep moving, don‘t eat crap, and stay engaged with your community, is valid. I finished it at my gym that just opened! #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

A #BlueStack of a baker‘s dozen cookbooks from my collection. I could have kept going, there are so many cookbooks with blue covers. 💙📘💙

See any favorites?

Francis Saxover and Diana Brackley discover a compound in a rare lichen that can extend the human lifespan to two hundred years or more. They take different approaches to coping with the inevitable social disruption a limited supply is going to cause.

Not as well known as Wyndham's other books, but still an interesting exploration of ideas.

The farewell was beautiful.

This book breaks down scientific concepts for the average audience. Interesting take on how anti-aging medicine might evolve.

This is a really readable scientific book about animals, cells, and aging. It might be the most chill book I‘ve read about how to manage aging- not a list of do this, not that, but examples from all species of aging success. Basically, exercise, eat well, and be social😁

Prompt: GENERATIONAL

You will meet five generations of Keller women with the sixth on the way.

The Keller women had worked in the olive orchards for generations.

What a magnificent book with a powerful, thoughtful ending.
