i just finished reading Still Can't see Nothin' Comin' for maybe the tenth or so time since it was first introduced to my when i was a sophomore in high school. and of course i am crying... like always.
it was one of the first real books i had ever read just for me, i'm not even sure if i actually read it for me or if it was just to seem like a reader but whatever the case i have continued to read it in my life. i feel a connection to this book more than someone who just really enjoys a book. very similar to the movie Orange County when the main character finds the book in the sand and it changes his life. i only know of two people who have read this book and both of us have had fairly similar reactions mine may have been bit more deep then there's was but still it was the same type.
i want to leave this book on a beach or in a park or somewhere that someone will find it and read it and maybe just maybe in some strange way we will be connected too.
""stop! I do need you, you bitch! I called you because I care about you! You make me bleed, Leslie. You gut me. You want a confession? You stab me, you get to see my guts. I love you . Okay? Does that make you happy? Are you happy now that you're all the way inside me? I love you. I'm saying that here , now and i know i haven't said it in a real long time. I left you 'cause I love you. I didn't want to drag you down with me. Can't you see that, Leslie! I mean, did you really want to come? Did you want this? " I looked up at her then, having said all this to the glove compartment, and turned my forearms up toward her eyes, showing her the scars like stripes up and down them. She was bawling now, real hard. Looking at her like that made me want to hold her again, and touch her face like I used to, wipe away her tears. When I spoke again i had quit yelling."
