I've really only retained Spanish because I use it on the job. All but one of the 4 languages I studied in my youth are lost to me for lack of usage. Then I'd insist on finding a way to use them in order to retain them. If I were afflicted with continuously being reincarnated as myself, I'd personally use each life to learn more languages when I'm young and my brain is extremely receptive to them. I like the idea that information and messages about and from the future can be passed into the past. I especially like the idea of the Chronus Club. This one seems like a more likely reality for someone doomed to repeat their life over and over. Atkison's book seemed like just a good idea with poor follow through. And each time I marvel at how much better it is than Atkison's book. It's a book I definitely look forward to picking up each time. I'm a little over 100 pages in, and I'm really enjoying it. Where he was once bullied, the bully cowers, etc.
I like how his personality changes because of his experiences. Even if the world around you is the same, you would certainly want to experience it differently each time. Please feel free to add your own questions as we go along!ĭid anyone else here read Life After Life? I was soooo very bored with that book because it kept on rehashing the same events over and over, but what I like about Harry August is that he seems to do something completely new with each life. I will be the discussion leader this month, however, as this is a Young Adult book and a popular one.I assume you all have lots to contribute. Pre-reading Question 1: What are your thoughts of reincarnation as a form of time travel?
This is the story of what Harry does next, and what he did before, and how he tries to save a past he cannot change and a future he cannot allow. 'I nearly missed you, Doctor August,' she says. Nothing ever changes.Īs Harry nears the end of his eleventh life, a little girl appears at his bedside. No matter what he does or the decisions he makes, when death comes, Harry always returns to where he began, a child with all the knowledge of a life he has already lived a dozen times before. The extraordinary journey of one unforgettable character - a story of friendship and betrayal, loyalty and redemption, love and loneliness and the inevitable march of time. I was given this book months ago, and I have heard some great things about it! I am glad it got voted in for the Book of the Month! The First Fifteen Lives of Harry Augustby Claire North
