I can find meaning

Ingrid

I do not like this book and I can find a meaning to it, something that I can disprove or agree with.  It is difficult to me to read a simple novel that is not asking me to agree on anything after reading “What Evolution Is” and “Darwin’s Dangerous Idea” that are books full of meaningful things.  I find myself lost in a meaningless book. I hate to think that things in life are meaningless and I refused to it when it was proposed through the discussions during class but now I am kind of starting to believe that there are certain things that are truly meaningless like “On Beauty” and “Howards End.”  I think that in order for me to relate to something it has to be through emotions because they are timeless and since the two previous readings are more concern about a certain time in history it is impossible to do so.
