Read this again w/ Will. Finished it alone because he (I think) lost interest. Was my fave book for so long and it was still great, but maybe more for the nostalgia than the content.

I think I expected too much after having this recommended by so many people (and loving Tuesdays with Morrie). I was disappointed.
