The book discussion last night for All the Pretty Horses was POWERFUL! I gave the book a 4 out of 10 because the topic of cowboys does not interest me whatsoever and the book was very slow and hard to get into, not to mention the conversations in Spanish! Yikes! BUT...the conversation from the group was amazing. Points were brought up about the underlying themes in the book - regrets, the meaning of life, existentialism, and fate. wow. those are some pretty heavy topics.
A person could drive themselves crazy thinking about the What If's in life but it is interesting to think, "do we control our own destiny or is it predetermined?" If you ever pick up the book or watch the movie with matt damon, think of this question as it will help you understand the theme.
