While in class Doug discussed his blog comment one why or why we shouldn't remember epiphanies. right from the start i have to say that i really agree with Doug. The moment of an epiphany is unlike anything else. If you could have that euphoric moment all of the time it wouldn't actually feel to mean anything when you do actually have am epiphany. so for me, i think i would rather 'forget' the moment. by 'forgetting' the moment i guess i mean more on the lines of forgetting the FULL experience. if you could look back and feel and see all that you do when you have an epiphany, that initial euphoric feeling wouldn't ever be there.
we also spoke about the first book that we read and couldn't put it down. I'm rather embarrassed to admit to this, but the first book that i read in just little over a day was 'Summer Sisters' i cant even remember who wrote it. but the story and the characters are still vivid in my mind when i think back to that Saturday i read it. I guess you could say it was my first 'big girl' book to read because of what it dealt with, love, sex, growing up in general. because that was the first book i read all the way through with dreading the idea to stop, it opened my eyes to much more in depth literature. because of that book i wanted to read more and discover books that really interested me.
