i was 17 when i picked up this book, not knowing i would leave it unfinished for 7 years. i found myself yearning to go back to 17 - reading a copy i borrowed from mom, when i didn't have things figured out, and this book was a poetic expression of beauty, truth and discovery. i hesitated to start again, the life i lived at 17 - the chance to read it for the first time were already gone.
