...Feeling Disconnected
We were all able to sympathize with the characters in 31 Hours who, for one reason or another, felt disconnected from those they most love.  We shared funny stories of being in foreign countries, stressful stories of being immersed in work and sad stories of feeling disconnected from friends, loved ones, and even our own book club.  We agreed that we were very lucky to have such a wonderful group!

P. 59    "'You can be anything you want to be', his parents told him, but they lied.  Truth was, an enormous breach existed between one's ambitions and one's reality."

Quotes:

 

P. 59    "He was also a bit stunned, during the months of divorcing, by the speed with which one could go from being part of a unit to being an individual human quite insistently separate."

 

 

P. 1    "When he was tiny, on a frenzied night like this, he would have snuggled with her in this very bed, bare toes pressing against her leg.  Now he extended over six feet, and though he hugged, he didn't snuggle."
P. 82    "So when their conversation had dried up a few months ago, she'd felt her own loneliness like a lumpy, dust-filled couch she'd owned so long that she'd almost stopped seeing it, only now there it was, an eyesore in the middle of the room, too cumbersome to move."
