So, my friend is loving this book and gushing about its atmosphere, writing, pacing etc., but isn't done with it so he can't talk about its meaning as a whole yet, but is raving about it to me and telling me I have to read it. I have a ton of books on my plate already, is it worth the time/ is it that good? Why or why not?

I am a big fan of Ishiguro, but chances are, your friend is a hypist. I consider Never Let Me Go to be one of Ishiguro's worst. The story is very sappy. The ending is very existentialist. I would try The Remains of the Day or Artist of the Floating World first.

Kathy then becomes Tommy's carer and begins a romantic relationship with him. For a time they are happy, but then think again about the possible deferral. Tommy selects pieces of his art to show to Madame, and, encouraged by Ruth's last wishes they go to Madame's address. Their goal is to see if they can defer Tommy's fourth donation (which is often the last one). Tommy has brought his art with him, as evidence of his personality, to back up his claims that he and Kathy are in love. Madame leads Kathy and Tommy inside, where they also meet Miss Emily, their old headmistress. They learn that Hailsham was a failed effort on their part to prove to society that clones had souls. They emphasized art as a means to make this point to the world. However, the experiment ultimately failed to achieve what they had wanted and they lost their funding and Hailsham had to be closed. Other clones were raised in much grimmer circumstances. Miss Emily dismisses the rumor that Hailsham students may defer their donations if they fall in love.

The pair learn that Hailsham was an experiment to improve the living conditions and alter societal attitudes toward clones. Until Hailsham, society had preferred to view clones merely as non-human sources of organs. Kathy and Tommy learn that Miss Emily actually was disgusted by the clones, and that Miss Lucy (another teacher at Hailsham) was dismissed for her dangerously open attitudes towards them. Tommy is upset and bewildered by the discovery of the purpose of Hailsham, whereas Kathy appears simply humbled, as if she has passively accepted her fate. The novel ends after Tommy's "completion" (i.e. death), on a note of resignation, as Kathy will now become a donor and eventually "complete".

Dude. I'm going to explain this to you slowly.

An "ethnic group" is a group of people who share the same heritage and genetics. That doesn't change no matter where they went. If two Anglos were born to the same mother, and one went to live in Indonesia, and one went to live in Brazil, they would both still be Anglos.

"English" is not an ethnic group. It is a word used to describe people who hailed from the same part of the world, not a construct of genetics. The English people are made up of Anglos and other ethnic groups.

The main thing here is, if a Zulu was born IN England and raised as an Englishman, he would be English. He would never be an Anglo. Likewise if an Anglo was born in Africa and raised as an African, he would be an African. He would never be a Zulu however. He would always be an Anglo.

Take for example, the Russian Blue cat.
It's a pure breed, but not initially through artificial selection. Russian Blues originated by natural selection because they lived and bred in a place for an extended period of time. You can take a Russian Blue out of Russia, but it will still have the pedigree of a Russian Blue cat.

Apply that to the "English" phenotype. Genetics have sloshed around that happy old island, and there are many phenotypes to be observed amongst the English people, yet you can often times find a genetic characteristic common to an exorbitant amount of English. This would be a characteristic of the "English" breed.

My point is this: you have no concept of freedom. You do not understand what it is to be free, and associate it only with race - understand it only through the lens of race. For you, freedom is freedom from other races. This is both incredibly limited and limiting, and incredibly tragic, that freedom has become this.

Would those ancient peoples have been okay with migration? Well, the Romans were pretty adept at assimilating other peoples, so I imagine they were pretty okay with it. And Europe was such a patchwork of ethnicities that they more or less had to be okay with it. The point is: race has no connection to real freedom - and in seeing it through that lens, you're making a crucial mistake. Freedom is not harmed through mass immigration, so long as those immigrants can be politically assimilated. Which they can be.

no. because, again, I couldn't really follow the track of it. i am not trying to defend the sanctity of the english race against the evil brown invaders. but it does seem to me that, if we are going to be okay with talking about ethnic groups and cultures, there is a thing as englishness and english culture. and it looked to me as though you were claiming that there was not. and that seemed strange to me. so i asked for clarification and i got it and i now understand the terminological confusion that led me to that quandary.

After they had conquered them and installed their people in power. A little different then forfeiting their political power in their own country and hoping the invaders adopt their suicidal political/cultural values.

>Freedom is not harmed through mass immigration, so long as those immigrants can be politically assimilated.

You make this assumption that people are blank slates, that the immigrants will want to adopt our values which are suiciding themselves.
Why would anyone want to copy what we are doing when its going so wrong?

These immigrants hold drastically different views on many things, especially on "freedom".
It is incredibly egotistical of you to assume our way is the best/only way, and that the non-whites will worship us for showing them the light.

Wrong, vast majority are against illegal immigration. Though it does appear on current polls that only 45% are against legal immigration.

Of course most people get their "facts" from the liberal media and so won't have any idea how bad immigration really is.

If you can't see the parallels between that and immigration to modern European nations, I don't know what to tell you, because in a huge number of cases, the people coming into European countries are coming from former colonies. Certainly this is overwhelmingly the case in UK and afaik in France and Germany as well.

> You make this assumption that people are blank slates, that the immigrants will want to adopt our values which are suiciding themselves. Why would anyone want to copy what we are doing when its going so wrong?

I... honestly I'm finding it difficult to process the level of absurdity, and circular reasoning, and insanity going on in this claim. Wow. Just to point out, as I read it, you seem to be arguing that (1) immigrants will not want to adopt our values, because they are absurd and (2) our values are absurd because they are leading to our destruction and (3) they are leading to our destruction because they allow immigration and immigrants won't adopt our values. Do you not see how that's a morass of unproven assertions that depend on each other for justification?

Your claims about "the best/only way" I don't want to get too in-depth on because it is such a complex question - but I should point out that I don't necessarily think our ways are the best possible ways. I do think they are quite good ways in many respects. Also, I should point out that this point of yours is incredibly inconsistent with all your other assertions and it's basically just bizarre for you to be arguing this.

Also: To address this again, the government stomps all over "freedom" to impose their anti-racist point of view.

Another point: we are a DEMOCRACY NOW, this is VASTLY DIFFERENT when compared to an empire or a monarchy.
The romans would remain roman no matter how many barbarians they annexed. It would still be run from rome and by a roman emperor.

When Rome was run by a Roman emperor, it had already lost its freedom and become a despotism.

Again, you have no concept of what it is to be free, and it seems from this post that you would prefer rule by a tyrant over freedom, so long as the tyrant was a white American. I weep for America. Fucking tragic.

ok? How is this relevant? Are you saying the immigration is ok because they were once ruled over by europe?

Physically non-whites cannot be assimilated, they look nothing like us.

My point is, that none of these non-whites would approve of mass immigration to their home countries, and they can see that whites are being displaced and dispossessed in their own countries.
If you ask an indian, do you think he likes the fact whites have colonized these lands?

I don't even know what you meant by "politically assimilate" either.

No, I don't. I think it's a decent start, but not sufficient. But, yes, it is closer to being free than being ruled by someone of the same race. The race of the people in power has no connection to freedom.
