I just spent the last 2 days re-reading TLW litterally. I have not slept, barely eaten, and sadly I even took it to work and read it there. I somehow managed to still get my work done, but not to the standard I usually do (I lied to my boss saying I was feeling sick as a way to cover my ass if she doesn't like anything I did or didn't do and should have) and now that I'm done that story.... I WANT MORE!!!!!!! I swear his stories are like crack! I was doing anything and everything to just get back to reading.
One thing though is his stories, no matter much of an addict I become while reading them, always help me out in some way. The first time I read TLW I had just came out to my parents (I wish I had been brave enough to do it at 17) and it didn't go well. TLW helped me put things in perspective and move on with my life. This time reading it I'm a different person then I was back then and I took it in a completely new way, loving the how all of Owen's relationships grew and developed. Again I learned something about my own life from it!
Both times though I did the same thing and read it through non-stop, sleep be damned. Its a good thing I have a few days off to recover, and probably hide from the wrath of my boss, as well as friends I've been ignoring while in my non-stop reading trance... wonder if they make a patch for Domaholic withdrawal symptoms?
I need a sandwich..... and a nap..... hmmmmmm Now I want to re-read TOS..... help!
