I asked a friend of mine I saw downstairs a few minutes ago, "How are you doing?"

His reply surprised me, "Oh just suffering the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune!"

He then recited (from a High School memory) Hamlet's entire speech from that particular scene.

My jaw dropped.

What would you do if you could have "one more day" with a loved one that had passed on?

He's a sentimental bastard. I just finished reading his last literary effort, "for one more day".

I don't know why I read his books. Well, yes I do, to be honest. I like them.

And this last one hit me where I live, I reckon.

I have had really nice boo-hoo's reading his other books. Why should this one be any different?

A story of every mother's son. This is the story of Charley "Chick" Benetto and the relationship he had with his mother. Or didn't have.

( Spoilers under the cutCollapse )

Iwas kinda weepy all day Sunday. I finished this book at about 5:30 Sunday morning.

fucker...
