I'd read it once long before but just read it again and it complete floored me, how much I missed or didn't get the first time! And I kept telling people about it, and like you said the JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND! I'm so glad I'm not crazy for thinking this book is the most wonderful thing ever.:D The parts that reference his reaction to the story as a kid is just brilliant and makes everything so incredibly meaningful! And then it's also hilarious, and exciting, AND romantic...! I just find it impossible to describe how much or exactly why I love it. But you just did an excellent job!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08901639281043602191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624597359174394097.post-37257744075913328242017-11-10T18:12:54.258-05:002017-11-10T18:12:54.258-05:00Catherine, oh my gosh, yes, SKIP THE PROLOGUE! Ha...Catherine, oh my gosh, yes, SKIP THE PROLOGUE! Haha. :D I almost always skip to the "actual story" when I read it (which starts on page 39 in my copy, which is a 30th anniversary edition, I think). I read it completely this time around, but that was probably the first time I'd done so. I'd DEFINITELY say to skip it the first time! I mean, it does set you up for understanding some of his comments in the story, but I think one can definitely make sense of them without the prologue. (Just keep in mind that MOST of the stuff he talks about in terms of his real life are made-up.)<br /><br />So, anyway, yes -- I often skip the prologue, and diving right into the story might be the best way. :) I hope you like it!Oliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03546655886492251059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624597359174394097.post-8875088461893477402017-11-10T18:08:09.868-05:002017-11-10T18:08:09.868-05:00Haha, that's okay, Lois!
