The Joy of Cigarettes

A sign of definite intelligence - The Vox Book Club (The Spokesman-Review)

Section 2 - Chapter 2: Some definite good reading.

Right from the starting gate, Death show us the "Keys to Happiness," and also introduces the concept of "Being Happy". What are YOUR keys to happiness?

Death later says, "It's not hard to like a man who not only notices the colors, but speaks them," when commenting on the way Hans Huberman begins to notice his surroundings.
Do you think Death feels that can relate to Hans and his sensitivity to the 'colors'?
Have you started to take notice of the colors surrounding you upon reading this book?
The next book stolen by Liesel, The Lighthouse, was written by a woman. Do you think this had an effect on Liesel?
Has any particular author had an effect on you in this way?

The next post for the next section is comin' up in a jiffy!

In 2006, then-editor Steve Smith of The Spokesman-Review had the idea of starting a publication for an often forgotten audience: teenagers. The Vox Box was a continuation of the Vox, an all-student staffed newspaper published by The Spokesman-Review. High school student journalists who staffed the Vox made all content decisions as they learn about the trade of journalism. This blog's mission was to give students an opportunity to publish their voices. The Vox Box and the Vox wrapped up in June 2009, but you can follow former staffers' new blog at http://voxxiez.blogspot.com.
