Notes from the bookstore:
Several days ago, a woman came in asking for this title. She seemed incredibly sad, and after I got over the initial shock, I felt incredibly sad for her. I wonder what it was like for her -- not just the whole ordeal, which I can't imagine, but how it must have been to actually go in and ask for that title... I think I might've blurted out, "Whoa... that's... heavy..." before of course offering my condolences (I'm pretty sure this book was for her, though I guess you'd still be pretty upset if you were buying the book for someone close to you). We didn't carry the book in the store. (more...)
