I always wonder what they got out of the book and if it is the same thing that I did. My memories are a mixed bag and I'm waiting for wisdom and old age to sort them out properly. I'm too confused about them now.Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05043376053971475659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-75711465485302067552011-11-16T18:24:23.324-03:302011-11-16T18:24:23.324-03:30We live twice, don't we - once as we are in th...We live twice, don't we - once as we are in the thick of it and again in our memory.
