The reading for this book came a day before a road trip back to my college campus. When we arrived, I was overcome with a new fullness of emotion.
I borrowed a remark I mistakenly thought Shapiro said during her reading to describe my new feeling - my return was evidence of life's inevitable accumulation of sorrows...
In hindsight, this explanation was perhaps a tad more dramatic than required. The simple fact is, library books excepted, I simply never handle returning very well.
