Sharing is good.
Last fall I finally got off my bum and started a book club. We've been meeting for 4 months now & I'm excited to report things are progressing really well. Everyone in the group is great and our discussions are lively & thought provoking.
Yesterday we discussed "Moloka'i" and for me it was one of the best discussions we've had since reading "A Thousand Splendid Suns". I absolutely loved "Moloka'i". It was a touching book; one that made me cry and helped me see how people can find enjoyment in life despite the constant hardships they experience. What I loved most about the book were the beautiful folktales and Hawaiian traditions weaved into the story. I loved it so much I'd read it again and I rarely ever read the same book twice.
After I finished "Moloka'i" I asked S, "Is there ANY way you could get transferred to Hawai'i?" I'd love to pack up, live in flip flops & shorts, enroll in a few classes to learn more about Hawai'i's culture and history, and explore all the islands. It's fascinating.
