Finished a book last night and I am sad.
I always am at the end.
suddenly conscience of my mortality.
Like burying a friend.

I feel for you friend. Call me anytime. :)
Just think though... Sure it might be over now but in a little while you could return to it and read it over and over again. The great thing is- There are so many great books to read, that can be read over again. It's not dead unless you let it die.
Good point. But I used "burying a friend" more as a reference to something that makes me realize my mortality than as a literal relationship with a book.
And there are few books I find I can read over again and still be entertained. Things are so much more predictable the second time around. So to force the metaphor, it would be much more like being with the dug up corpse of a friend. Besides, I really bury my books when I am done with them.
Nate!... I think you know why I am writing this...
What book was it? I'm looking for some good books to read over Christmas vacation. I think I'll start with a little CS Lewis. Have you seen Chronicles of Narnia yet?
I saw the movie while under the influence of Tylenol PM. Some parts I thought were slow. But maybe it was just me that was slow...I liked it, but I havent' read the book. A guy I went with said he really liked it because he'd read the books....It was entertaining no doubt. King Kong? LOOOOOONG! Interesting....long....violent...I won't see it again, but that doesn't mean it wasn't good....
I liked Chronicles of Narnia... but I thought it had its slow parts. That too could be to not getting barely any sleep the night before and caving right before the showing. I liked it though as well.
Nate! You seriously buried a friend, I mean book in your back yard. You awe wiewd.
