This is not the end of the book;

On the backside of the jacket of This is Not the End of the Book, is a quote from Umberto Eco:

The book is like the spoon: once invented, it cannot be bettered.

It struck me like lightening and I just picked it up.

Am halfway through the book and, needless to say, it mesmerizes me by the way it surprises me every second page.

A notable thing is the book is in the shape of a deep deep conversation between Umberto Eco and Jean-Claude Carriere curated by Jean Philippe de Tonnac. And the most notable thing is, a thought by Eco is followed by/responded to by a thought from Jean-Claude and then followed by another thought from Eco and so on. It feels like once Eco speaks, Jean-Claude naturally responds. Once Jean-Claude speaks, Eco naturally responds. The conversation unfolds like the feet of a walker. After one foot lands, another foot naturally takes a step accordingly.

Isn't it how you would love to respond? Isn't it how you would like others to respond to you? Wouldn't you want to remember to respond, so that you respond in the way you would love to respond?
