A Bend in the River by Naipaul

[MikeWaters]

I don't think about books in that way. I stopped writing essays after my freshman year in college, so I don't have to dissect, analyze, deconstruct, find themes, etc.

It just is.

I also don't really care what his personal life.

I'm not sure I can tell you what a good person is or a bad person is.

It's like music. Certain notes will cause vibrations of my own strings--harmonics, dissonance, convergence. Some things will be important to me, some things will be important to you.

Perhaps the fact that something can linger, yet feel unexplainable, is a sign of greatness.
