this book is tearing me apart

Understand, much of my actual youth was spent in a state of arrested development inside a fatherless home. I typically stayed out of the sun, alone in the woods, or indoors reading books. I love anything having to do with Greek mythology, philosophy, the classics, or the Bible. Alas, so am now the type of guy who says “alas.”
