Have you ever read a book 10 years ago and then reread that book 10 years later for a summer reading challenge? You have minimal memories of the plot, but still some significant memories nonetheless… And you move through the story thinking, “This is not at all how I remember this story going… Maybe they re wrote the ending? It doesn’t sound like it’s going to end how I remember it… Surely I am not remembering correctly…” Only for the story to end how you remember it ending and you hope that you don’t have to reread the story for at least another 10 more years… Anyone?? Just me?? Cool cool cool.
