Does anyone have that one book or books they they re read from time to time. It clicks just right with your emotions. The story, characters, setting. I was criticized once by a mental health worker for getting too emotionally involved in books. Finishing a good book feels good and sad. I picture all the characters asleep in the closed book on my book shelf. Just waiting for me to open. Again. I find comfort that those friends are in reach whenever I need. And I'm not re reading it currently but I highly suggest the author Michael Cunningham. Especially the novels The Hours and By Nightfall. He can easily dictate your emotions with his word choice and his style. And I personally love that there is always a gay character. Even without it being a real theme. Just normal everyday. He exhibits how beautiful the English language can be. And his books are quick reads.
