"You knew I'd write a book about you someday. You said once that I'd dredged up the whole hit parade minus you. I'll never know how you'd tell it. For me it begins here. Like this."
To me, the first two thirds were stronger than the end, but I'm not sure how sure I am of that, or if King just captures how college learning and love feel SO WELL that other life epochs pale a little in comparison. Either way, this is beautiful and I loved it.
