the memory of running

so i'm reading it now. pretty good. is it sad that i relate to the main character? the alcoholic, lazy, dissatisfied with his life guy? i mean, ok. not an alcoholic. but the descriptions he gives for why he drinks. the escape. definitely rings home probably more than it should.

and maybe it's also just that i would love to just take off and start riding my bike again. really miss that. hopefully i'll actually get it out and do something soon. maybe.
