![]() ![]() So I like Franny a lot, and feel for her. So a book like this can be quite revealing, and I do remember it being very hard, but I am still trying to figure out how best to process, forgive, and understand my own lost years, so I don’t really have much time or energy to spend on others. It was chaotic, but because I spent most of it alone or in short-term relationships it was mostly one that was peppered with hurt feelings and occasional broken hearts (mine or some one else’s depending on the circumstances) and while I occasionally wasted someone’s (prime) time, I can say those times could be measured in months and never years. I only sometimes look fondly back at my 20s. ![]() Saddled with way too much college and grad school debt, I focused on how to get a real job, with real credentials, and real stability….and this has led me to a respectable career, married (for the first and only time) with a sense of things be settled at the time of marriage rather than through marriage, and bought a house. ![]() I am 37 (almost 38) and like a lot of men my age, I had my Coming to Mercury in Retrograde moment in my late twenties and starting to taper off into a real kind of adulthood into early 30s. Like with The Catcher in the Rye, I think this book depends a lot on when and who and what you are when you come across it. ![]()
