As I received comments of 'friends'... members of this book club I accepted to re-join [invited by a dear friend:]... felt the urge of writing this comment:
One man's nectar is another man's poison.
I could not be more distant in literary tastes than from this charming young man, Eric is his name. Still, I find him interesting, intriguing and captivating, all in one. Do not have to subscribe to all his literary tastes, though, to find him so!
I must admit his likes and dislikes are totally opposite mine when I was that age, and still are.
I have not 'progressed' much from a time I remember talking to my supervisor about something I had been reading by Bellow, actually that I was 'making' myself read out of 'duty' - he told me that there was no need to 'punish' myself and read something that I could not like and consider good, only to please a friend. Rebel without a cause, I accepted his wisdom!
Nothing is more important than the use of my analytical mind in combination with my heart when choosing and loving with 'connaissance de cause' a work of literature.
Words are us and we are words. Characters have shape, dimension, depth, consistence not only on a page; must have resonance in our minds and souls as well to exist and, beyond that, to live.
Indeed the "Happy Few"!
