backwards

I just finished reading "The Reader" by Bernhard Schlink. It’s a good read… I admire how he weaved the words to tell the story of Michael and Hanna.

Here is an excerpt of The Reader.

At first, I wanted to write our story in order to be free of it. But the memories wouldn’t come back for that. Then I realized our story was slipping away from me and wanted to recapture it by writing, but that didn’t coax up the memories either. For the last few years, Ive left our story alone. Ive made peace with it. And it came back, detail by detail and in sucha fully rounded fashion. (p. 217)

thanks to Athens’ blog, i heard Finch’s Letters To You again. I like this song… And since I so miss listening to music while at work… I am slowly doing that again… only during my breaks (my break is four hours, anyway…)

I want you to know that
I miss you, I miss you so
I want you to know that
I miss you, I miss you so

I'm writing again
These letters to you
Aren't much I know
But I'm not sleeping and
You're not here
The thought stops my heart
