started this in october after picking it up for a second time. i think I tried for the first time maybe when i was in high school. i think because they assigned us another book and i was salty - still i never finished it. Not the biggest fan. at some point during thanksgiving i lost the book (and was grateful for it). now 10 months later i found it again. to avoid picking it up for a 3rd time i fear i have to finish it this weekend before i forget even more of this plot. even now i only remember them milking cows and yearning pathetically between some udders. but really want to get a roll on GERMAN SUMMER
