choices and consequences

I grabbed a book off the library book store shelf because the suthor wrote a screenplay for a movie I thought was fantastic. Julian Fellowes wrote "Gosford Park", and I don't know what that screenplay must have looked like, because the movie- while fantastic- was hardly linear. All the characters had their own story lines and no one ended up taking over. I had to watch the movie several times to really get all its depths.
Anyway, the book I picked up was called SNOBS. It was OK, very English class sensitive, inner circle stuff. The end had a 'reading group gold' section with author interviews and discussion questions. I like this section- do you? He said that he didn't really see the book as being about class or snobbery, but about choices and consequences.
But I thought the way the story ended in many ways cancelled out this assertion. It would be intersting to have a real conversation- instead of just a pat answer so I could challenge him on this. But I guess that is why people have book groups, to discuss among themselves. I probably need one myself, but am not even supposed to be reading, or posting here right now, as I have school work to finish... What consequences will my choice have?
Actually I believe that staying connected in with the world is the best way to learn. It is easier to make connections and gather viewpoints by staying open. Lets hope it pays off.
