Ran into my old English teacher at the grocery store and she made me rethink all those book club arguments
She said a book's value isn't in whether you agree with the ending, but in how it makes you talk about it with the person next to you, so does anyone else find themselves picking fights over plot holes even though that's missing the point?

Man, that's exactly what I needed to hear. I used to get so hung up on whether a book's ending "made sense" that I'd miss the whole point of talking about it with my buddy. Last week we spent an hour arguing about a plot hole in this thriller and I think we both forgot what the story was even about. It's way better when we just trade ideas and opinions instead of trying to win some dumb debate.

Why do you have to pretend plot holes don't matter for conversation to be worth anything?
