Such completely different books, you know?<br /><br />I didn't see Adam as being disappointed. In my head, he was almost...annoyed that his father might have come to his place. As if he would have been invading it and taking away some of its sacredness.<br /><br />My hiding places are in my head. Even when i did have sort-of a hiding place (the backyard) I still was inside my head there. I don't know if my kids have a hiding place...I need to think about it!Amy Sorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04607827000379087741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7542864908107801091.post-84648522367536957562011-03-29T14:12:23.292-06:002011-03-29T14:12:23.292-06:00I love East of Eden, but I'd forgotten this pa...I love East of Eden, but I'd forgotten this passage.<br /><br />I have my hiding places, still, and I prefer to be left alone while I'm hiding. What is the point of a hiding place if it's not a secret? At some point I will (or have) needed it for absolute alone-time, and I don't want someone to come look for me then. <br /><br />Love this post,<br />xoxheidikinshttp://heidikins.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7542864908107801091.post-67792406379155469112011-03-29T14:08:04.592-06:002011-03-29T14:08:04.592-06:00I adore this book.

I can...I adore this book. I should read it again.<br /><br />I can see both sides. I definitely understand Adam's disappointment that his father never came for him, for I often want someone to reach out to me when I am hurt. <br /><br />But, I so very rarely reach out to those I'VE hurt, that I totally get Cyrus's way of thinking. I always assume the person needs space and time. <br /><br />Just love the writing and the depth of thought. Enjoy!Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11107964636020955468noreply@blogger.com
