![]() ![]() Back to this current book review- Kororo is a fascinating look at life and transcends the limitations of time, culture and perspective. But, at times books became a safe haven and functioned as insulation from difficult conversations. Don't get me wrong, reading and discussion of books is expansive, enriching and powerful. The mother and son from End of Life often lost opportunities to truly talk and connect on deeper personal levels because they focused so much on the current book. Soseki speaks about not closing your life off by walling yourself in behind mountains of books. But more than this it offers deeper insight into The End of Life Book Club. These concepts are strangely applicable to our modern times. The book was written in 1914 and offers an interesting exploration of loneliness and connection in "modern" times. They raved about this Japanese title so I found it and listened. That title was The End of Life Book Club-a story about a mother and son who used books and reading to cope with terminal illness, loss, connection and family. I found and read this book because of another book I just finished reading. The Heart Of Things, Relationships & Feelings ![]()
