I put this book in the mail to a BC friend for a LFL
The box of books arrived safely today; what a lovely surprise! The books and postcards are welcome, and I'll try to distribute the books to as many different LFLs as I can manage. Thanks so much!
At first I thought this was a book of trivia questions, but it's a lot deeper than that. From fairly lightweight questions like whether you'd be willing to spend a night alone in a house reputed to be haunted, to more serious ones such as what you'd regret not saying to someone if you were to die tonight, the entries are throught-provoking. They can be used to spark discussion between friends - or strangers, or with one's self...
Some of them are solidly in the realm of fiction, such as the one about the power to cause instant death to people by simply thinking about them and repeating "Good-bye" twice - that sounds like the plot to a horror film, where there would probably be unexpected repercussions, but as a philosophical question it could certainly raise some issues.
Some of the questions involve choices - would you rather do X or Y - while others ask about personal experience or beliefs, and still others deal with actions past or future. Some of them also have follow-up questions at the end of the book, some of which might change one's perception of the original question quite a bit.
For me, some of the questions are very easy to answer - but it occurred to me that as a discussion point, it might be interesting to find out which questions are easy or hard for Person A in a friendship or relationship and which are easy or hard for Person B. Even without answering the questions themselves, knowing which ones are easy or tough could be a talking point in itself!
