I bought it to take with me for reading on my Winter trip to LA, but forgot about it.
I finally started reading it about a year-and-a-half ago, got halfway through - formed a positive impression but wasn't really engaged - and put it down.
I picked it back up again, looking for something to read before bed. I couldn't pick up the thread from where I'd left off, so decided to start from the beginning.
That turned out to be a good idea. I responded much more positively to the material the second time through.
I've reacted to this book differently than anything else I've ever read. In the past, I would sometimes, frequently, identify with a character or a situation. I would read something and it would resonate, feel true with me.
But this is the first time I recall feeling accurately described, seeing thought and behavior portrayed so well. I'll tell you the truth: it was unsettling and exciting. I have things I can learn from this book.
I'm grateful for still having the capacity for learning and surprise.
