The discussion of the Booker Prize-winning book Timeshelter, written by the Bulgarian writer Georgi Gospodinov, was interesting and full of questions. On one hand, the book has a philosophical side, contemplating the subject of memory loss and how our identity is intertwined mostly with the times when we were younger and happier. For this reason, it was not enjoyed as much by the younger members of the book club, who are practically living in these times now, while older members enjoyed the reflections on time, memory, and the past more, as they could relate to them.
