Yes. It's like that for me too. Some days are different from other days.

I have read Miss Lonelyhearts. First time was in high school. I really liked it (read Day of the Locust too). I read it a while later too. And then fast forward to just a few years ago, when my daughter was reading it for school. I thought oh I will read this again. I tried, but I couldn't even get halfway through. It was way too overwhelming and hopeless. I just couldn't handle it anymore. As I've aged, I have less of a thick skin, perhaps. I'm not sure.

It's a very, very tough novel. No wonder he wrote it in the middle of the Great Depression!
Take care!
