March 21 Meeting at Dricka's

The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter

The book dealt with loneliness and because of it, there are times

of feeling isolated.

I felt the characters in this book felt at times so alone.  This loneliness

was more than a person can sometimes deal with, so they sought out

someone who they felt could understand their need to confide with to

make them feel they weren't alone.  John Singer was that person.

John Singer who was deaf and had things he couldn't cope with.

So when his closest friend died, he felt he couldn't deal with his loss,

so he took his own life.  Maybe if he could talk to the same people

who sought his friendship and confidence, he too would have

someone who could give him the comfort he gave others.

I know most everyone wasn't happy with this book, but maybe we could 

understand after reading the book the need  some people have to

be comforted by someone else.

I enjoyed the girls in  my home and preparing an evening that

I hope you all enjoyed.

love, Dricka
