220. What I Loved, Siri Hustvedt

Very moving. I felt alot of emotion during the time the main character lost his son in a camping accident. The journey of one's emotions with his wife, son, closest friends and their son. So beautifully written.

"Like everyone, Bill rewrote his life. The recollection of an older man are different from those of going man. What seemed vital at forty may lose its significance at seventy. We manufactured stories... We delete most of it to live with some semblance of order, and the reshuffling of memory goes on until we die."
