have you ever felt ambivalent about a book? the one that is scaringly captivating and pulls you in like a vortex... those are the ones that give you pleasure and pain at the same time. you want to know what is going to happen next, but right now. but, no..you don't wanna hear how the story evolved from someone else. you want to walk through the pages wishing the seconds would go faster and your eyes could see through. thus you will be at the end sooner than you estimated. yet you want to savor the feeling, like reading with your heart in your mouth. the best solution, the one that has worked for you so far, is to throw away the book. hide it under the sofa, go out and put it in the trunk of the car, i don't know..but what i do know is, do it now and you won't be sorry. this way you can imagine seeing all possible endings in your mind. but wait! what if the actual ending of the story was shaped differently by the gifted author than the ones you can possibly come up with? should that matter? you wouldn't know the original ending anyhow, and whenever you need to recount the events, that will be your everchanging unique story.
this is killing me!
