작은 섬에서 서점을 운영하는 주인공 Fikry의 삶과 그의 주변 인물에 대한 소설입니다.
소설 속에 많은 일들이 있었고 슬픔도 있었지만, 결국엔 마음 따뜻하게 마무리되는 이야기였던 것 같습니다.
이 책에 대한 멤버들의 다소 대립되고, 다양한 의견을 들을 수 있어서 즐거웠습니다!
긴 분량의 책 읽으시느라 고생하셨습니다. 감사합니다!
토론 내용입니다.
1 A.J. believes that “you know everything you need to know about a person from the answer to the question, ‘What is your favorite book?’” Another quote from the book: Remember, Maya: the things we respond to at twenty are not necessarily same thing we will respond to at forty and vice versa. This is true in books and also in life.
So what is your favorite book? And are there any books that you feel different when you read at younger ages and now?
2. Why do you think A.J. decides to keep Maya? Do you think he and Amelia would have got together if he hadn’t?
3. What do you think of Ismay's motivations for stealing Tamerlane? Did you agree with her motivation for stealing it? Should she pay for the crime she committed? If so, how do you think she should pay for her crime?
4. When Maja’s doesn’t win the short story competition, A.J. tells her such contests are never fair. Amongst other things, he tells her… people like what they like… it’s about the personal taste of a certain set of people on a certain day. Do you think he is right? If a book has won a prize, does it draw you to read it?
5. Lambiase started off as an occasional reader, then to book club reader and eventually a book store seller. What do you think of the changes and the impact of books had on him?
