UPDATE: 374 pages later and I can tell you that it had a pretty satisfying ending.

Happy endings are good, Book. Joy be unto happy tidings.

Bookworm,
Your youth betrays you!–Flack’s song came out in the 60’s while I was in college, so that would be between ‘62 and ‘66. I agree with you regarding the song and Flack’s delivery.

Best wishes, Pam

Well, I am going to date myself. The song was on radio in 1972 and was number one in early 1973.

Sadly, the only way that I can relate is all the books that I have read and only wished that they reflected my life.

For what it is worth,

I can somewhat relate in two ways,

- About a book that seems to describe me,

Well it was not a novel and it was not describing a character, but it was like reading for the first time ever an accurate description of what is going on inside of me…as if that woman had been inside my head and my heart and could describe who I am better than I can…
the book is called ” The highly sensitive person ” by Elaine Aaron

- About being suddenly unable to hold back tears,

yesterday I found an old box with photos of a woman who was the love of my life and who I thought I had forgotten ( it has been 12 years since I have seen her or even heard about her)
the photos brought memories and tears to my eyes, and then later in the day just thinking about those wonderful years, tears would come to my eyes again…
I could not control it, it felt like we had just broke up a couple weeks ago…

Weird I know…

I hate that, too, O. I wait, and then hit reload. If it comes up on reload, then I won’t have made a fool outta myself.

Damn! Once again WordPress sits on my comment for several minutes, makes me think that it has been rejected, and then publishes both it and the replacement comment. At least this time I was suspicious and waited longer. Anyway, apologies for the double post. A stupid joke is bad enough, but seeing it twice is excruciating.

You know, I had EXACTLY the same experience with another book — Don Quixote.
