Every year, the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books becomes livelier and brighter due to the growing number of attendees. From book lovers, casual readers, and literary collectors to authors and publishers, people gathered to celebrate literacy.
The largest book festival in the US opened its doors last April for a glamorous two-day weekend celebration with the bookworms. Held at the University of Southern California, many book enthusiasts, book lovers, and book collectors, as well as writers, established authors, and many more, attended the free event.
A lot of bookfair-goers went by the Citi of Books booth to check for their next read and potential favorite book. One of the books that were chosen is “Growing Old Is Not For the Meek” by Walter Sawyer. It was displayed on April 20th and 21st at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books at the University of Southern California.
The author, Walter Sawyer, reflects on his life experiences in his inspiring book “Growing Old Is Not For the Meek.” He emphasizes appreciating life’s moments because they can’t be guaranteed. People come and go, leaving behind lessons or cherished memories.
Sawyer quotes St. Augustine to encourage exploration, suggesting a limited life for those who don’t. He acknowledges the difficulty of letting go of the past, especially for those over 70. He describes the pain of losing loved ones yet finds comfort in their lingering presence.
The book offers a look at Sawyer’s life, with its mistakes, as a way for readers to potentially improve their own lives and relationships.
