Revisiting the Dark Side

I have been thinking back the last few weeks about the non-salad days of separation, getting my life back on track, the usual mid-life introspection that deserves about 6 words and even that may be too much.  Then the other night as I was going through my books to decide what to read next, I came across Marc Bojanowski's The Dog Fighter.  There is not a lot about this book that I remember from the initial reading.  So much has occurred since then and was occurring at the time.  However, I remember during all that tumult that this was an emotionally difficult book to get through and yet felt like an accomplishment once I did.

So as I go through the continuous tumult of dealing with life and making a valiant attempt to move forward, I had the urge to revisit this book from some really dark hours, dearest readers.  I will be surprised if I have the same reaction to it, but I know it is well written, engaging and at worst forgettable after a few months.  It quite possibly is much more than that.  As I say, those were bleak times when I first read this.  Here's to revisiting the dark side of life in somewhat brighter days.
