Eunice’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

I already set up and updated the spreadsheet for it.

Goodnight.

I could. How long do you want it?

Hurghada I think

I have 11/22/63, but I haven't gotten around reading it. It's so thick, I feel like I wouldn't be able to finish it.

Then spelling it is?

Since most of us are fine with either, which will we pick?

DQs Prologue - Ch 1 - 11

1. The author starts us with some beautiful imagery of a violent end. What did you think of this as a beginning? Did it draw your interest and leave you wanting more? Do you like it when you are given a prologue that might not be answered until the end of the novel?
I was a bit taken aback that the book started with a death, but quickly got over it. Most of the time, I don't like unanswered questions by the end of the book, but I guess it depends. The citizens of Weep have forgotten most of their history, so I don't expect that it will be answered.

2. Lazlo Strange came from humble beginnings, and is now a grown man. Do you feel he has changed from that rebellious boy in the orchard? Why do you think the library chose him? And do you believe people have a calling in life to follow, or do you think you can choose your own path?
His rebelliousness is still there, just under wraps, since he found the courage to step forward and speak in front of many people. He's just selective on when to show it. And maybe the library chose him because of his curiosity. I believe that ultimately you can choose your own path, but you also have a calling, some people having a strong one.

3. Lazlo was drawn to help Thyon when he stumbled upon the scene in the tomb walk between Thyon and his father. Do you feel Lazlo made the wrong decision to share the book with Thyon or do you think it was all part of fate’s larger plan? And would you have been tempted to keep the book for yourself instead?
If there's magic in their world, then maybe there's fate as well. If I was in his place, I probably would've given it to him too.

4. “Some men are born for great things, and others to help great men do great things.” How do you feel about this quote? Do you believe people are born to their roles in life or do you believe people can change their stars? Lazlo takes a huge risk by impulsively offering his services to Eril-Fane. Would you have taken a similar risk to help fulfill your dreams? Have you ever taken a risk that changed the course of your life?
No way. I wouldn't want to sit like a dog and just be in the background when I know I have the abilities and skills to be something greater. Besides, you see many people who have nothing turn into something. I would've taken a risk to fulfill my dreams. I think that taking risks is important in success. So far, I haven't taken such a risk.
