Session

I had my second Torrey Session today, and it really went much better than the first I think. It was a more interesting discussion than Tuesday's because unlike Tuesday, we talked more about the themes in the book(we even got into the discussion of what's the difference between truth and fact) The opening question was "how true is this book?" so then we decided to define what was meant by true, and from there started talking about fictional stories, and the three little pigs was even mentioned. :) Once we got off that topic it was a lot of fun to discuss Homer's world view in the Iliad, and whether or not it made the book "true" regardless of how factual it was. All in all it was a good session. And Lord Voldemort got put on a par with Nietzsche.It was very entertaining.
