Some times it's the little symbolic consequences of your actions that hurt the most. you deserve them, but they do hurt.

What do you do when you're 47 and think you've blown up your marriage?

It got very scary and real at about 8:45 this evening.

Or the whiteness that your pen could write

Super Heroes: A Modern Mythology by Richard Reynolds - This one kept popping up in the bibliographies of Comic and Super-hero studies. A short book which is probably the guy's thesis, and is a little dated from its 1992 origins, but still quite insightful. I just wish there was better examples than The Dark Knight Returns and Watchmen.

You have been disappointed in love but a better woman will replace her.

Desperadoes by Ron Hansen - A western that I have meant to read for years. My Dad gave me my first Ron Hansen book and I thank him for it everytime I think of him. Hansen's first novel, it is the fictionalized first person account of the famed Dalton gang and their daring train and bank robberies.
