I think "What are you thinking?" is a question everyone asks at some point in a relationship, even though the simple act of asking doesn't necessarily bring you what you want.<br /><br />@Sarah - I read your review and what you said got me thinking. It is true that their relationship seemed really dysfunctional. But I think part of the beauty of the relationship is that they are able to work through it. <br /><br />@A Mitton - I saw your comments on it on your blog and they made me happy. What is the poem that you read?<br /><br />@Esoteric Muse - I hope you like it!<br /><br />@Chrystie - Do it! :)<br /><br />@Amanda - I hope you love it! You are actually the one to introduce me to David Levithan - I picked up Dash and Lily's Book of Dares after reading about it on your blog. I am interested to hear your thoughts about The Winter of Our Discontent.<br /><br />@Kathryn - Yay! I'm so happy you read Kartography. And I would love to come to Mo-town for book club, especially if it is Kartography. I haven't read the whole thing in a couple of years so it would be fun to read it again and discuss it! Whether for book club or not I definitely miss you guys and want to see you soon!LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11194834748090369779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5076308692811460989.post-59082601116914816192011-02-20T19:00:43.876-08:002011-02-20T19:00:43.876-08:00You sold me.

I feel like I need to and want to read it again soon and then you need to come to Mo-town for when we do it for book club. :)Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00273283307301996169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5076308692811460989.post-17887025617006186912011-02-20T08:42:56.322-08:002011-02-20T08:42:56.322-08:00I adore David Levithan and can't wait to read ...I adore David Levithan and can't wait to read this!

Esp. love this sentence: <i>"It always surprises me to find emotions that I thought were my private property echoed in someone else's voice."</i> So true. My husband and I both felt the same way--he read the "aloof" page ("what are you thinking?") and was stunned to see his experience related so perfectly.Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08151339860580266808noreply@blogger.com
