The Leisure Seeker: A Novel | Michael Zadoorian
33 posts | 18 read | 25 to read
The Leisure Seeker is a sweet natured travelogue thats about the end of the road in more ways than one.The Dangerous Book for Seniors! Bob Morris, author of Assisted Loving A sort of Easy Rider meets The Notebook, Michael Zadoorians poignant, funny, vibrant, and unforgettable novel, The Leisure Seeker, is a story of two seniors who escape from their retirement home and embark upon a hilarious and touching end-of-life road trip. Here is a story that will appeal to a wide range of readers: from retiring Baby Boomers to fans of Mitch Albom, Tom Perotta, David Sedaris, Nick Hornby, and Nicholas Sparks. In fact, the Detroit Free Press says, I would recommend Michael Zadoorians The Leisure Seeker to almost anyone.

Many thanks to @bthegood for passing this book along to me. A simple and poignant story of an 80 year old dying of cancer hitting the road with her husband who has dementia. The wit and snark of Ella was perfect and her care alongside her occasional anger toward her husband felt spot on. Being older myself I could empathize with her review of her life. Happy to pass this book along to anyone, as it too is a traveler.

bthegood so glad you enjoyed it - 🙂 It has traveled from @BkClubCare to @bthegood to @Suet624 to whoever is next 🌞 (edited) 7mo

This bittersweet story is about a couple in their 80s who go on one last roadtrip. Ella has cancer, and is tired of all of the doctors appointments, treatments, and medications. Her husband John has Alzheimers. Despite everyone telling them not to, they pack up their Leisure Seeker camper and drive what remains of Route 66, all the way to the end. While they travel, Ella thinks about life and the vacations they took over the years with their kids.

Perfectly written story about John (early onset dementia) and Ella (cancer) who have been married over 60 years. Ella decides they need to take one last trip in their camper -cross country, on route 66, to Disneyland. It's a story that reflects on life's purpose, loss and love.
I am passing this on to the first Litsy that responds - as @BkClubCare passed it on to me (thank you - loved this book) -

I read a lot of books that start with “The“ - may have to be more intentional on titles OR just carry the #AlphabeticalBingo ( @Clwojick ) into next year - ok - option 2 it is 😂!

Make a great day everyone 🍂

wanderinglynn Since “the”, “a”, and “an” are articles used to refer to a specific noun, I‘d ignore the article and look at the first noun after “the”. 😉 1y

I can‘t say I enjoyed this exactly— it is sad and heartbreaking— but I very much appreciate old people main characters and their choosing life on their own terms. Well done Ella, you feisty grandma you. And as fearful/nervous as I was about how it would end, I admire how it was portrayed; “well done.”

About to make a strawberry pie but perhaps I should make a Fried Green Tomato Pie (with an “Ugly Crust”) with what I picked today. We are hoping that if we cull some green ones, we will spur ones still on the plant to ripen already! Husband wants to make green tomato relish. #LitPie #BookandPie #iLovePie

This is a fast read about an elderly couple who decide to go on one last road trip following Route 66. It has a definite nostalgic feel, some funny moments, and some heart breaking ones. Ella, the narrator, reminisces about a life lived without fanfare or drama, and her choices. It‘s a book that makes you think about your own life choices, and also inspires you to get behind the wheel and drive! Maybe down this street in Bay Harbor, MI #puremi

This book made me cry and while I was bored with the constant descriptions of the travel and the travels from the past, the accurate portrayal of living with someone who has Alzheimer‘s makes this book excellent. For me personally, it was so hard to read, harder than any of the other books I‘ve read about elders, it made me feel massive amounts of fear and feel horrible amounts of guilt, but I appreciated the end so much.

In Florida spending the morning at the pool with my book! I bailed on The Alienist and moved onto this one. I just couldn't get into The Alienist and now I'm sorry I bought it. Is anyone watching the TNT series? Is it good?

Oh gosh, I finished this morning. I finished through tears and sobs and understanding. I understand because I probably would‘ve done the same thing, Ella. And so would‘ve my grandparents if they had the chance. This is a beautiful read and a personally hard read.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 stars.

#Showusyourbujo:
I don‘t have a Bujo 😓, but I do have a small notebook in my lap that I journal in while I read. I also have a husband that takes REALLY great photos.
I left my house for the first time in 3 days. I‘m not contagious- I wouldn‘t leave if I was. 40 mins of reading in, but I‘m still struggling even with antibiotics. This double ear infection is killing me slowly. Back to soup and couch!

HotMessJess @mcctrish that‘s exactly how I feel right now! I thought if I went out and tried to have a normal Sunday I‘d feel back to normal... oof. And for #bujo inspiration you should check out Pinterest! But be careful, I‘ve heard they‘re addictive 😅 7y

It came today. My heart is excited and it definitely hurts: my Grams, my world, was recently lost to Dementia/Alzheimer‘s in October. We lost pops barely 4 weeks later to cancer. This book hit me hard and I knew I needed to read it. There is something so comforting in a book. ❤️

HotMessJess @minkyb I keep trying to rationalize that this is just a mourning period because I lost them both so quick, but I know I‘ll miss them forever. We shared such a special bond and closeness (and wedding anniversary!). I didn‘t think it would be so hard and everything comes in bursts, but I feel so much safer sharing on Litsy compared to anywhere else! Grandparents are such special humans!! 7y
HotMessJess @Eggs thank you ❤️❤️ 7y
HotMessJess @kaye thank you! I‘m hoping I like it- I read the first chapter last night and it made me laugh a little because my Great Grandma (Gram‘s mom) passed away from dementia when I was 19- we were also very close and she tried to get me to break her out of the hospital the last time I saw her. 7y
HotMessJess @JessClark78 ❤️ thank you 7y

John and Ella have been married 60 years and have enjoyed traveling in their RV "The Leisure Seeker" much of their married lives. Both have health issues and against their children's wishes they decide to embark on one final RV journey from Michigan to Disneyland in CA. A fantastic story, sometimes funny, sometimes tender, sometimes sad. The Leisure Seeker is a book that addresses issues many of us try to avoid as we age or see our parents age.
