T O P I C R E V I E WeightdegreesThe last time I read Gooberz, about 3 years ago, I didn't REALLY read it, I mostly just wanted to read the parts when she's with Robert Brewer and I kind of skipped around the rest of it. A few months ago I started to read it again and couldn't put it down, I was so drawn into her life. I really felt like everything she went through was somehow PART of me, my understanding of her childhood feelings went straight to my core. Now the opposite is happening with this reading- I read straight through to canto 14 I think it is, got a little ways into her relationship with Robert, and I haven't been able to pick it up since. It's so intense for me and brings up so many feelings. When I read about their love I get this faraway, childlike feeling... it's like I'm afraid to wish for a love like that in my life, and there's this child inside listening with bright eyes saying, "really?? can it really be like this?" and I just feel so vulnerable. I don't know how long it'll be before I can read it again. I want to; and I think about it a lot, but when I try to read it I usually end up getting so lost in emotions that I just have to put it down. It makes my heart hurt. Has anyone had a similar experience, or have any words of wisdom? Thanks!Obeyeah, a lot of deep emotions are in that book I guess. It really is the most magical book I've ever read. I know what you mean about how it hurts to read it even though you want to. Its like Linda said, about Glad and Sad rhyming, and how we have to learn to let go of that rhyme.
