I am rereading "Trying to Save Piggy Sneed" - a short story collection by John Irving. It's taken from my old fashion library, the one I used to use as a child, and on the paper note attached are listed the names of people who took it out in the past with dates (yes -in that dark age before computers ruled the world).
And there - at the top, I found my name. 01/2001 - when I was 19. The funny thing is, reading this book now it means so much more for me than it did back then. I understand it in a completely different way. The book hasn't changed of course -I did.
Reread people. It's a whole new world.
