lucky

I have been reading Lucky by Alice Sebold. I picked it up about a year ago and started reading it, but it was too hard to read, so after the first chapter I stopped. It's a personal account of her rape. It was really graphic and disturbing. When I was going through some boxes at home last month, I found it again. A new book with a bookmark towards the beginning. Just looked like yet another book that I stopped reading in the middle because I got bored. So I started over. Horribly disturbing but this time I kept reading. I'm halfway through, about 150 pages in. The thing is, I read before I go to bed, so it gives me anxiety and makes it hard to fall asleep. I think I'm going to stop reading it again. Haven't decided yet. I'm hoping it has some great advice or empowering victory at the end. How will I know if I don't finish it? I feel invested.

Last night I bought a book to read during my flight home for Christmas. I got Mitch Ablom's latest book - can't remember the name, but that should be an easy read. It's about a mother's love or something. I liked his first two books. They're so different from my world, so they feed my imagination.
