Thanks Xiaoying for "pushing" us to dig further into the Vermeer story and fantasy. I watched the movie first, but thought the book was quite more chewy, thanks to all the symbolism you help us discover. Discovering a painter is like discovering a world to me. I feel a lot richer now that we know something about Vermeer.
Last night's book discussion served as a great wrap up to the first reading season. Thanks for all your stories about art and artists. The deeper we dig, the purer the water gets!

让我们养精蓄锐，将下一年的读书会办得更好。
不来的人会后悔的。
So, when are we going to tour the famous Lily library? btw, I have an idea. Since we are not going to have meetings for the book club in the summer, may be we can get together sometime, instead of sharing the book, we could bring in something that are of interest of our, a collection of some sort, hobbies, favorite projects or anything that are passion of yours that you wish to share with us. I just thought that would be fun and we could get to know each other more. How about it girlfriends.
That is a great idea. We have to wait till 大雁飞回来, unless we feel pressing need to meet before her return.
Hi, Moviefan, I want to add two books to our summer reading books collection. " where the heart is by Billie Letts" this book was chosened by Oprah, my idol. about a girl of age 17, pregnant, homeless jobless and wss living secretly in a Wal-mart store. A very funny, and moving book that I just could not put down. The other book is " Night by NElie Wiesel" It is a short book, only 109 pages, but it is a book that would stay with you for a long time." It a terrifying account of the Nazi death camp horror." It was depressive but a book that one should read. Please post them up for me, I truly want to share those two books with my friends.
Done. Thanks,Newcomer.
Hi Newcomer: I read "Night" before and share your reaction. It is pretty terrifying story; but worth reading!
Oh, about the local "Kinsey" or "Lilly" library, I'd suggest sometime in August when everyone is back in town. I'd love to show you Kinsey in August. I am in China for the month of July.
Finished the movie" Where the heart is" and still read the book now, thanks newcomer to bring us to Oprah.....
