TheBookHippie I‘ll get to it!! 🤦🏻‍♀️😵‍💫 10h
kspenmoll I will get to intro etc this week! 8h
AlaSkaat I like the idea of Show your working, especially in thought/opinion.
When she said how disappointing it is people are so focused on being ‘right‘ and oftentimes not even forming their own opinion, just borrowing others for the sake of being right… and then ‘it‘s not my job to educate you‘ when asked to explain… I wonder how many Trump followers blindly follow him and scream his words without really understanding them..
8h
AlaSkaat Maybe not not understanding it, but rather never forming their own opinion and following his. Cause anyone in their right mind who has really thought about it (enough to show their work in this sense) would go the other way… 8h
AlaSkaat This reminded me of the tagged book. Good can vary from parson to person. I‘m curious to see how she explains each topic in every chapter. Can you be racist to a white person… there are people of each opinion. Which one is the ‘right‘ one? I hope she goes into detail! 8h

Pickpick

“To be alive and think are the same thing(228)”.
This graphic novel was in our HS library.I think it is a reliable,researched,brief readable summary of Arendt‘s life & worksThe graphics are fun,facial expressions & body language authentic,Exaggerations of faces,bodies add a playful element.The language is modern- might that be due to the author‘s intended audience? Examples:Lines are “The Game is AFoot 9.1.1939 (100)”The Fleet Street Pundts(101).”

kspenmoll The author‘s graphic artistry in capturing settings:war‘s destruction, camps, NYC, is elemental to the author‘s grasp of time & place,& reveals a sense of realism throughout. #adventuresinphilosophy #HannahArendt (edited) 2w

TheBookHippie lol!!!! I‘m ready to go put book on hold it was on shelf so I‘m all set! 4w
Chrissyreadit looks good 4w
kspenmoll I am ready too! 4w
DrSabrinaMoldenReads What is this all about? 4w
GingerAntics @DrSabrinaMoldenReads it‘s the next book we will be reading for the dead philosophers society. You can join us if you‘d like. 4w
DrSabrinaMoldenReads Thanks!!! That sounds interesting! Please include me. (edited) 4w
AlaSkaat I‘ve still got to buy this book but it sounds interesting. I‘m slowly getting back into a normal reading routine after the bad few months I‘ve had, so I‘ll try to engage more this time around 🤞 1w
GingerAntics @AlaSkaat I hope everything is getting better. Ease yourself back in if you need to. No rush. No pressure. 1w
AlaSkaat @GingerAntics thank you. I‘ve had a lot of health issues come up in the middle of my grief and the past 3 months have been sooo hard. But it‘s all settling slowly… I‘m definitely making rest a priority now so will definitely have time to read! 1w
AlaSkaat Thanks for still including me btw, I‘ve been awol for so long haha I came back here after I think a year or more? And you guys were still having these discussions! So awesome 1w
GingerAntics @AlaSkaat oh no, I‘m so sorry. That always seems to make things worse. Rest is always a good time to read. Yeah, we‘re still chugging along. I‘m so glad you‘re getting to come back, though. We‘ve missed you. 1w
AlaSkaat @GingerAntics thank you! I‘ve missed it here too. It‘s really nice to be back, even if I‘m easing in slowly while I get everything back on track. I just hope the world has given me enough ‘lessons‘ for a while and I can stick to reading about them instead 😅 1w
GingerAntics @AlaSkaat girl, I know that feeling. Fingers crossed on reading instead of living the lessons. Ugh. 7d
AlaSkaat @GingerAntics 🤞🤞 the book came today. I‘ll make a start on it. I saw a lot of mixed reviews about it 🧐 5d
GingerAntics @AlaSkaat fingers crossed, we shall see 5d

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?

kspenmoll I would like to read this tagged book. Informal is fine- discussion questions if you have the inclination & time. 2mo
GingerAntics @kspenmoll I‘m thinking if I do questions, maybe I would just pick one for the chapter instead of trying to come up with as many as possible. Not looking at everything as a possible discussion question really let me take in the book more. 2mo
TheBookHippie @GingerAntics yes sounds good!! Informal one per chapter is fine by me! 2mo
Chrissyreadit I was able to get it through Libby and intend to read this one with all of you. 2mo
GingerAntics @Chrissyreadit WOOOOOHOOOOOO!!! 2mo

Tonight on The Americas, we got to see this octopus mate and her babies born. It wasn‘t long, but it was amazing! Highly recommend!!!

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie the whole series is totally worth a watch! It‘s SO good! The octopus was especially exciting, though. I‘ve been looking forward to it since the series started in the middle of reading Other Minds. 2mo
vlwelser That series is amazing. 2mo

I got some new friends while we were reading. The top two are the same octopus, just reversed. The green side glows in the dark. The red one is much smaller and can actually sit on your shoulder via a little magnetic disk.

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie well, the reverse of the glow in the dark one is like “don‘t make me flip this octopus around. I will release the pissed off octopus if you want to push it.” 🤣😂🤣 2mo

quietlycuriouskate I didn't know till now that I needed a reversible octopus. Well, I'm all for lifelong learning! 2mo
GingerAntics @quietlycuriouskate right? It comes indifferent colors, but one is happy and one is mad, so it‘s perfection. 2mo
kspenmoll Cute!!! 2mo
