Not the blatant Zionism STILL after that being the primary reason for losing this race 💀

Only 1/3 done and I’m already crying…this book is going to destroy me. Such an interesting premise to view the comings and goings of human life through the eyes of something that lives 150+ years. How would our own interactions with the world change if our lifespans were extended? Would we be more likely to take care of the world if we knew we’d be subject to our impacts for longer?

Absolutely loved the call to action at the end. Sure you enjoyed the concepts discussed in the book but what are you willing to do about it? How will you introduce a gift economy into your life?

How do we hope without a map—without being able to glimpse some identifiable point in the future where things might get better? And how do we act, if we don't know where our hope will come from?

Hey is it normal to already be near tears just at the promise of reading a book full of people "stubbornly practicing hope" amidst these very bleak times? Asking for a friend... (as shocks no one, it's me, I'm the friend, in a phase of life where I'm very much looking to better align my behavior (job/hobbies/general approach to life) with my beliefs)

Just wondering have there been any books removed from this quest recently?

I noticed that I've read 4 from this quest and got excited thinking that I only needed to read one to get the bronze badge, only Pagebound is saying that I've already got it.

I saw a post on a different quest where a book had been added accidentally to the quest & removed and that was why a few people were shown as having completed the quest with one book short & I was wondering if that was the same case here? It's no issue, I just wanted to make sure it's not a glitch or bug that I need to report.

(Will also be trying to prioritise one of these reads to make sure I've earnt the badge earnestly!)
