so-soI liked it but I also didn‘t like it very much. Some of it seemed so obvious, like the mc being SO unlikable at the beginning…. So that we‘d see growth and like him by the end. And there were some good nuggets to think about…. But I‘m really all over the place with it.
Do we want to read this book next, or one of our back catalogue? Also, should we go back to having discussion questions, or did you like having a more informal format?

pickThis book is intense. Frankl, a psychiatrist, describes his experiences in concentration camps in Nazi Germany. The book tells how he maintained his sense of meaning, and helped others discover that they still had their own, to make it through the tragedies of starvation, death and uncertain futures. The main message is there is not one meaning to life, but each of us have our own meanings, and where there is a why, there is a how to survive.
Building away. YNH is talking about how computer algorithms can go awry and referencing Facebook's involvement in spreading lies and misinformation against the Rohingya people. I read about this in Maria Ressa's How to Stand up to a Dictator. What's awful is even when people called out the lies and called on FB to stop the algorithms, the damage was done. CBC spoke this week about how easy and cheap it is to buy groups on FB with followers 😢
Crazy New England weather in CT this week. Gray clouded sky one day, then a brief appearance of the sun another day- magnolia tree bud, star hyacinth, now snow Friday & today! So so happy Litsy is working today-“Where books make friends.” Friday I missed everyone!
I‘m not sure I entirely agree with this assessment, but this is where we are. Blue was also strong.

Started this one a few days ago. I like it a lot more than Ishmael, that's for sure! This book so far is like Ishmael with better back-and-forth dialogue and characterization.
“when rich white men did all the talking it was easier to reach agreements” 🤮 my little flower arrangement is complete and bringing me joy ( I put pansies in my front planters but I‘m going to have to bring them in tonight #stormbrewing)
