Love what you said about reading The Memory of Water. I pretty had the exact reaction as you. Another book on climate change? Urk. But turns out, Memory of Water was the exact opposite! I’ve never...

I absolutely love Itäranta’s usage of words. It’s poetic, lyrical and absolutely entrancing. I think that the points made by Sanja on humanity kind of relate to what we read on “The Individual at the...

“I dipped my fingers in the water and felt its strength. It moved against my hand like breathing, like an animal, like another person’s skin.” Absolutely breathtaking. Like you, I can see the images...

It’s interesting how you say Noria is like a samurai, but of tea. And the words certainly do flow like water! Everything is seamless and seems to move to a natural rhythm. Like you and Wangie, I...

I think many of us have to realize that some of us in the world are ALREADY facing the future described in the Memory of Water. The question, how do we prevent this from spreading? How do we help...

I didn’t fully realize the tensions within The Memory of Water until you pointed it out. Everyone is stressed, angry and scared. In a country where everyone is encouraged to their own thing and take as...

Noria’s mother certainly acts as one of the book’s most interesting characters. Here is a woman whose devotion to her family is a little questionable. She seems more interested in scientific...

I’d really like to check out the documentary you mentioned. I’ll have to remind myself to look it up. It’s interesting how social media is able to temporarily record our lives and leave it out there...

Love what you said. ‘The struggle is real.’ It’s hard keeping things in moderation. That’s a problem all of us face. Isn’t it really strange how the military officers and people of authority are...

I think what really drew us in was the quality of the author’s writing. Her style, like Gabriella said, flows like water. That, I think, is the mark of an excellent writer. Really interesting how you...

It definitely doesn’t have the facts that are listed in Squarzoni’s book. There are no statistics. But it gives us clarity and insight into the situation of climate change. I think that a lot of us...

Water certainly is available to us. Imagine if we couldn’t shower for a week! That’d be just… gross. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it’s interesting how you thought the protagonist would use the...

Really love how you managed to combine parts of the book into your post. I also want to comment on something that you said. ‘As for past relics, pieces of today’s society, Noria sees humanity of the...

I think that if we really wanted to, we could drastically change our lives. However, I think most of us have grown so sated and lazy because of the comfort we experience on a daily basis. I think the...

It’s true. Not everyone is aware. What really struck a chord in me is when you said that not everyone cares either because… well, it’s true. It’s hard to imagine ourselves living the lifestyle...
