Quick and dirty, but of interest due to random convo with copperbadge:

Oh, you and I have to have coffee and talk about how uncomfortable Neal is making us. I wonder to what extent its our NYC upbringings too.

And I do know The Sparrow mainly because I read it because everyone said I'd identify with Sandoz, which I don't, actually.

I bet there's something to that, actually. The city helps you be that kind of liar, the kind where you believe it too, until you don't.

And really, we ought to have coffee. Just in general.

(As for the Sparrow -- did you ping on Sofia instead?)

I did, somewhat, but not too strongly on anyone in that book, really.

And true true. We should. Also, I think NYC private school, in particular, makes everyone a liar. The criteria for getting by are so weird.

That book hit me very strongly a couple of times -- but I read it first when I was a religious studies major and trying very hard to fall in love with God, and a second time when I was alone in Turkey for several months, so I think I was primed for it.

Email me? I don't know what your schedule is like, but this weekend is pretty unscheduled for me.

... and yeah. NYC private schools teach you how everyone is a liar, all the time.
