Every line, every paragraph I read inspires me more. It’s been 60 pages. Nothing has happened. And that hasn’t made a bit of difference.
Like All About Eve, my desire to call people and tell them about it has grown stronger by the minute. Like Freaks and Geeks, I initially worried that there was going to be a letdown – until I realized that, in the long run, there wasn't going to be one. I’m sure I’ll comment more and compile quotes as the book progresses, but for now I’ll just transcribe the opening lines: “My suffering left me sad and gloomy. Academic study and the steady, mindful practice of religion brought me back to life.”
