the corrections

so, i just finished reading the corrections, jonathan franzen. i found a passage toward the last few pages particularly poignant. so, while i don't have anyone beside me in bed to turn over and discuss it with, i thought i would quote it for you.

"She had to tell him, while she still had time, how wrong he'd been, and how right she'd been. How wrong not to love her more, how wrong not to cherish her and have sex at every opportunity, how wrong not to trust her financial instincts, how wrong to have spent so much time at work and so little with the children, how wrong to have been so negative, how wrong to have been so gloomy, how wrong to have run away from life, how wrong to have said no, again and again, instead of yes: she had to tell him all of this, every single day. Even if he wouldn't listen, she had to tell him."

Guess maybe you had to read the book, and you should!! But if you had, we could talk about it.

RANDOM FACT: before noon, i have sappy taste in music. right now, i play damien rice, the blowers daughter, every morning while i am in the shower.
