Heh Lynn,
It was the funniest thing...I had to turn Maisie Dobb's back in to the library as I'd kept for so long...last week, one of my passengers on a flight was reading it! I recognized the cover of course...so it was fun discussing the book with her. It was a great read and thank you so much for your part in leading the discussion, you certainly did a great job. Deb

If you have not yet read this book, now could be a good time to do just that! 
Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl
Frankl's timeless memoir and meditation on finding meaning in the midst of suffering
Psychiatrist Viktor Frankl's memoir has riveted generations of readers with its descriptions of life in n*** death camps and its lessons for spiritual survival.
Between 1942 and 1945 Frankl labored in four different camps, including Auschwitz, while his parents, brother, and pregnant wife perished.
Based on his own experience and the experiences of others he treated later in his practice, Frankl argues that we cannot avoid suffering but we can choose how to cope with it, find meaning in it, and move forward with renewed purpose.
Frankl's theory-known as logotherapy, from the Greek word logos ("meaning")-holds that our primary drive in life is not pleasure, as Freud maintained, but the discovery and pursuit of what we personally find meaningful.
At the time of Frankl's death in 1997, Man's Search for Meaning had sold more than 10 million copies in twenty-four languages.
A 1991 reader survey for the Library of Congress that asked readers to name a "book that made a difference in your life" found Man's Search for Meaning among the ten most influential books in America.

Hi Deb and Lottis,
Thanks Deb, Maisie Dobbs was a good read. I haven't read anymore of Jackie Winspear books since we finished reading that one but I will. I have been catching up with other books I have had in the cue also with my family history.
Lottis I have heard of Victor Frankl and his life story but have never read his book. I think it would be an amazing read though. Have you thought of being a book club moderator on MP.
Take care, Lynn

Hi,
I love books and I use to read constantly. The sad thing is that I have not been able to read books since almost two years, due to lack of concentration. I can only read short parts at the time, like forums and bloggs, or a science paper that really interest me.
Viktor Frankl I read more than 30 years ago, so I really should read it again now, since it is about overcoming suffering, but I can not, it is not possible.

Hi Lottis,
It must be so hard for you not to be able to read. My reading time is diminishing due to a better level of activity but I so enjoy to read a chapter or two when I can.
I hope this will improve for you.
Take care Lynn

Yes, Lottis I so agree. I went for years unable to read and not really understanding why. This after, reading books constantly as a child. I blew it off to being busy with work and family and later realized it was a "symptom" of my illness. Because I also lost part of my vision 19 years ago during a sarc flare, this only added to the problem. It is nice to now sit and read a few chapters as Lynn says, or even to have the concentration to read a magazine. (This week I've had a bit of neuro and re-living the fun!)
Lottis, something for you and all of us to look forward to! Reading again!
