Book Club with Julia and Victoria

love this podcast!! very insightful, such a great way to learn more about books I already love and discover new books.

Americans trying to talk about foreign authors in the most annoying way possible

Was looking for a thorough discussion of All The Things We Cannot See after finishing it. Was hoping for additional insights that I may have missed as I don’t consider myself to be a “reader” and reading novels is new for me. During the summary they got several key facts of the book (and actual history) wrong or at least half wrong. They spent a long time trashing Americans for liking world war 2 stories and talking, insert liberal talking points about America sucking. Absolutely nothing to do with the book itself. The book doesn’t even have American characters so the assessment that WW2 books are written solely for American pride doesn’t apply to this book at all. The reason why WW2 books and stories appeal to people is to learn from the past, and human nature. To try to fathom how so many human beings were complacent in this. Similar tactics have been used since then in other countries, even today. And there are many parallels between the communist takeover in Germany, and what the far left/Marxism is attempting to do today in America. The lack of insight in this podcast episode is likely due to the influence that Marxism has had on these women. They aren’t getting the point of this book because they don’t understand the importance of the events or how we should learn from them. I mean they literally think that the book is post modern and is saying that there isn’t a clear right and wrong???? No, it’s very clear that Werner is wrong and his sister Jetta and his from Fredrick is right. Definitely pass on this podcast if you are looking for anything intelligent whatsoever. After listening to the episode I can away realizing that I got MUCH a more from this book than they did. And I mostly read nonfiction, this was my first fiction book in probably 8 years.
