Last week my book group met to discuss My Stroke of Insight. Usually we spend the first half hour discussing kids, families, school, work but not this time. We just jumped right into a really great discussion about the book. Lots of input and comments. And we had almost everyone show for the meeting. That usually only happens when we host a pot-luck dinner! Not everyone was convinced that the author truly remembered her journey while having a stroke but there were some very relevant and interesting insights in her recovery. I found it to be a little too much "new age-y" for me at the end. While the author thought it was cool that she knew she was having a stroke and could learn from it (in her capacity as a neuro-anatomist) I am pretty sure I wouldn't have thought it was cool to be going through a stroke!!
Next book is LIttle Bee which I am looking forward to reading. Should be a good book for discussion.
