It
was a fun night, a fun book. It was interesting to see that the
majority of the books our group/club picks are related to that WWII
era. Perhaps, because we love to see
how ordinary people do extraordinary things when under the yoke of
extreme oppression and distress. I hope that we never see those
horrific scenarios in our lives, but if we do, may we be like the
heroines and heroes we have been reading about. If you think
about it, all these heroines and heroes were doing was being true
friends to those oppressed and less fortunate. There is a phrase that I
heard, supposedly written in some apocryphal book: “A FAITHFUL FRIEND,
IS A STRONG DEFENSE” I believe in the power of
friendship and the enrichment that comes from human connections and
interactions.
You
enrich my life, I’m so glad we have this club, may we continue to turn
pages and keep meeting to both share a meal and exchange ideas and
important events in our lives.
I’m going to get the next book this week. :)
Best regards,
Ivan
