Are you doing the Seattle Public Library Book Bingo and wondering how to fill out the “Buddy Read” square? Read with your neighbors!
We will meet at Third Place Books Seward Park and discuss Deciding to See, by Nathan Vass.
Book description:
Deciding to See: The View from Nathan’s Bus is an eye-opening, inspiring, and hopeful linked-essay collection recounting the amazing everyday encounters of city bus driver Nathan Vass, who lives life by the motto “if you give kindness, you’ll get kindness.” Vass tests this theory on the roughest nighttime routes in Seattle. The results illuminate the challenges of poverty, homelessness, and crossing class boundaries. Vass intertwines personal stories of trauma from his survival of the 2015 Paris terror attacks, showing that we are all struggling with tragedy. These brief but meaningful encounters foster healing for everyone involved. The ordinary becomes extraordinary when he chooses to see the beauty of each person who steps onto his bus. Come along for the ride.
