Reading Ishiguro. . .

was depressing. Not only due to the subject matter but also to the fact that I feel like there is so much to get done, not enough time, and so I force a quick read and end up feeling left on the short end of the stick. (I know, all I do is complain about my lack of time these days . . .sorry)

Anyway, I did enjoy the book as much as is possible right now. I do wish I had more time to truly enjoy it and I plan on revisiting it over Christmas break . . or maybe next summer, just to be able to really enjoy it. The thing that kept grabbing my attention as I read was the whole idea of morality and how these people are created just to be used as spare parts. I started wondering what kind of society would allow for such a process and then I realized it's not that far of a stretch. Every day there are medical advances and technological leaps. Who's to say it can't happen here? It just takes a small degree of complacency on the part of the public for such a situation to insidiously gain footing. It's a scary world we live in, one can't help but wonder how much scarier it's possible for it to get.
