Sideways, finally

Cos it’s been dragging too long, I’m only able to talk about the last part of the book. (Note to myself: do not read multiple long fictions at the same time unless I have the confidence to finish them within a week.) Rex Pickette successfully portraited a middle-aged, not-having-accomplished-much-in-life, recently devorced, seemingly without hope guy. His anger, his frustration, his inability to bond… It was so real and vivid that you can actually understand even if it’s been smooth throughout your life. Well, you probably won’t. But the point is, I could, and I sometimes harmonize with Miles.
I’m sideways now, maybe I’ll write more later… or not.
A little early in life to be sideways don’t you think? One of my favorite quotes:
“A benevolent man should allow a few faults in himself, to keep his friends in countenance.”
–Benjamin Franklin
