@janroberts@EkpeUdoh I underlined so many sentences! Like you said, it was hard to choose just one favorite. Towles’ writing is very quotable. #Ekpesbookclub
@whitneywhitneyf@EkpeUdoh@yunniekim I agree! And yet we're so often told to speak up. (Which I don't think is wrong at all - but just an interesting concept to also notice the void where silence is, what isn't spoken.) #Ekpesbookclub
@janroberts@EkpeUdoh I think in some basic way we're all equal to start, but we've been given different gifts and talents, and what we choose to work at or not - or maybe what opportunities we're given or not - determine where we end up. ...
@janroberts I appreciate all the references to time and am noting the dates and years. I even tried to figure out how old the Count is! I also like the hints we get at what to pay attention to. I've noticed color mentioned a few times as well, in regards to clothing, decor, hair ...
@EkpeUdoh@janroberts I thought it was sad how some beauty and indulgence was lost. The ability to appreciate creation and effort. Like the wine labels - no matter how much time and effort went into making something, no matter its worth - it all had to be perceived as equal value when it wasn't.
@pinkishly_ @janroberts@EkpeUdoh@yunniekim Agreed! It's impressive how he's still living his life and using his knowledge to influence and help people, despite being imprisoned, in a sense. He could have chosen to give up and be depressed, too, but didn't. I'm glad he didn't jump off the roof! #ekpesbookclub
@janroberts@EkpeUdoh I noticed too in what he wrote for Cora, he said she stopped running. And that no reward had been claimed. So that must mean she's safe and happy living her life somewhere!
@EkpeUdoh Yes. And I can't really put it into the right words, but it does. I was struck by a line that said the way the European tribes operate is if they can't control it, they destroy it. Just a lot of perspectives I hadn't thought through before, which is why this book is so good.
@janroberts@EkpeUdoh Cause if she wasn't property and never was, then why would there have been a reward for her return? Just a rich guy who wanted it to be that way? I might have to try to look into that one a little bit.
@EkpeUdoh@janroberts I know we're running out of time, but did anyone else catch on page 298 on the runaway notice for Cora where it says "she was never property." What does that mean?? #Ekpesbookclub
