GingerAntics Is this an intro to another book? I feel like there was very little explanation. I almost feel more confused than when we started. 3h

GingerAntics I seem to be disappointed in the Sam Harris books I read. Every single one is a like, but or an eh. 3h

Did anyone else feel like it ended abruptly? Maybe that‘s a separate question.

so-so

What can I say? I was & still am, totally confused by this book. If not for a group read #adventuresinphilosophy, this would be a DNR /bail for me. Thank you @GingerAntics for offering stimulating discussion questions which challenged me to think through some of the books ideas.

GingerAntics I am on the edge about this book. I feel like it left things dangling. 3h

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie I think we are all feeling a little wonky and off at this point. We‘re lucky I‘ve kept up with this book since the election. 🤣😂🤣 3d

I did accidentally read last week‘s chapter the well before, but I did come up with another question.

kspenmoll All that you mentioned! 1w

GingerAntics @kspenmoll sadly, I feel there an amount of character development that is entirely out of control of the individual… up to a point. If you were raised poorly, as an adult you have to make the choice to learn differently. You also have to be free and choose to question your beliefs. Unfortunately, very few people actually do this. The genetics you can‘t really do anything about, though. 3d

I think I accidentally read/listened to this week‘s chapter last week, but I need to double check for sure. How is everyone doing so far this week?

kspenmoll I am behind, having trouble focusing- 2w

AlaSkaat I am couple chapters behind! With my twins funeral and cremation and developing a womb infection!!! It‘s been the hardest past 8 weeks of my life. Life always gets in the way of our book discussions! I‘d love to finish this one but might be a little late 1w

GingerAntics @AlaSkaat oh my God! I am SO sorry! We are so not important right now. We will discuss this whenever you want. Big digital hugs! I am so so sorry for what you‘re going through. We‘re here if you need to talk, or vent, or whatever. 🤗🤗🤗 1w

GingerAntics @kspenmoll same! I feel like I‘m just escaping and doing whatever I can to just ignore the madness. 1w

kspenmoll @AlaSkaat Sending you love love love. I am so deeply sorry. 💕💕💕 1w

AlaSkaat @GingerAntics @kspenmoll Thank you guys ❤️‍🩹 books are actually my escape atm so it‘s very helpful. But my mind is working slow so reading is going slow, but I‘ll get there 1w

GingerAntics @AlaSkaat there is nothing wrong with that, just take your time. 1w

We Are Free to Change the World: Hannah Arendt's Lessons in Love and Disobedience | Lyndsey Stonebridge

Here are the chapters in the tagged book. Maybe start one chapter per week? Let me know your thoughts. I am open to anything. If library holds are in, we can start as soon as everyone has the book, or any time later. For discussion post our thoughts/questions after each chapter or just as they occur to any of us? Arendt‘s book The Origins of Totalitarianism might be a good follow up. All are welcome to join in. #adventuresinphilosophy #resistence

Tamra My name has the odd spelling, Tamra. 😁 I‘m game for a chapter a week. (edited) 2w

Deblovestoread I'd like to join if I may. 2w

kspenmoll Thanks @Tamra! Oops! ❤️ 2w

kspenmoll @Deblovestoread Fantastic! The more voices the better! The book is available in some libraries, audio, kindle, hardcover. 2w

Cuilin Wonderful 2w

Suet624 My vote would be to make it easy for you, Katherine. Trying to do a week by week can certainly work for some and if you have the stamina to pull that off, go for it. I may find that I can only read a chapter every two weeks - especially if I find myself in a pit of despair. Or I may be so inspired I might read it in 2 days. So go with whatever you think you can handle, since it seems you are taking on the task for pulling us together. :) 2w

Tamra @Suet624 agreed, whatever is easiest! No need to pile on any extra stress. 2w

GingerAntics I can‘t get the book right away, and I know at least one other person can‘t, either. I‘m thinking this can be our book to kick off the new year. We could start discussion over new year if everyone is open to that. 2w

kspenmoll For those who have the book right now from a library, we can start just reading as we can. I like the idea of reading it in the New Year as well, if we can emotionally with the new admin. I am going with my son Sunday to a LGBTQIA2S rally that was not planned until now. —- So i guess i am saying let‘s read what we can & take care of one another. I may start this weekend. I will be in touch. @Suet624 @Cuilin @Deblovestoread @Tamra @GingerAntics 2w

Tamra @kspenmoll 🤗 2w

Suet624 👍💕 2w

TheBookHippie I‘ll go with whatever. 2w

Hope In The Dark | Rebecca Solnit

Currently i am reading An Altar in the World, which I started before the election. I read Hope in the Dark in 2016 & now plan to reread. Arendt‘s book is new to me.
Members of #adventuresinphilosophy & anyone else interested in changing path‘s & reading Arendt together? #NFNovember

Suet624 I was shocked to find that the Burlington library had it on the shelf. I put a hold on it. 2w

Bookwormjillk I‘ll see if I can find it. 2w

kspenmoll @Suet624 So glad it‘s there. Do you know what #in line you are? 2w

kspenmoll @TheBookHippie @Tamra @Chrissyreadit @Cuilin @suet624. Let me know if interested in a low key buddy read. If your library does not have it, it is available on kindle & as an audiobook, less $ than the hardcover. 2w

Tamra @kspenmoll I‘m picking up my copy tomorrow from an Indie. 😄👏🏾 Thank you for the recommendation! 2w

TheBookHippie @kspenmoll let me check! 2w

TheBookHippie Put it on hold no one was waiting! 2w

Suet624 It‘s currently on hold for me. No one else was reading it. I‘ll pick it up on Thursday. 2w

Cuilin Love a buddy read. I put it on hold at my library. I should be able to pick it up Tuesday. #resistance (edited) 2w

BookmarkTavern Love Hope in the Dark! Thanks for sharing! 2w

Chrissyreadit i am not able to get through library and used copies are pretty high- so i may have to wait on this unfortunately. 2w

GingerAntics @Chrissyreadit we could read it in the new year… I‘m going to need time to get my hands on a copy. It‘s not too bad on Apple Books. 2w

Chrissyreadit @GingerAntics sounds like a plan 2w

On this, the most stressful day (and probably week) of the year, how are you doing? Everyone getting some down time and taking care of themselves?

AlaSkaat Sorry I‘m a couple chapters behind! It‘s been such a rough month. I‘m going to have time to rest this weekend so I‘ll catch up then!! 3w

GingerAntics @AlaSkaat I‘m not so sure about that now. We just have to conclusion, but it may have to wait a few weeks. We‘ll see what everyone says. 3w

ravenlee I‘ve been having one of the most difficult months of my life…and then the election happened. Sorry I haven‘t been present for the read. 3w

GingerAntics @ravenlee it‘s definitely been a month or so! That election certainly didn‘t help anything. Ugh! I‘m keep hoping there is some kind of irregularity found or something (ANYthing), but I know there won‘t be. It‘s just so hard to give up on hope. 2w

kspenmoll @ravenlee I have been in & out myself & behind in reading. Sending you hugs- & hope that despite the election, your personal life gets better. 💖 2w

kspenmoll I am behind like everyone else… 2w

GingerAntics It‘s a good time to be behind. I‘m glad we scheduled specifically to have wiggle room. We will get through this together. 2w

kspenmoll No it would not. Harris says a few things such as “The urge for retribution depends on our not seeing underlying causes of human behavior.”(55) 2w
