I loved it so much, I gave it to the first boy I ever loved for that part in particular. <BR/><BR/>I don't think I'll ever be able to read that book without thinking about David the whole time ever again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33675153.post-1028811703731704082008-04-05T18:29:00.000-07:002008-04-05T18:29:00.000-07:00I actually reread the "The Little Prince" today. ...I actually reread the "The Little Prince" today. It's interesting how it's a children's book, though adults probably need to read it more than children do. I think Antoine might have been being cleverly subtle (this is a book for childern, adults won't understand).<BR/><BR/>Why people like it? The book reminds some of us of what it's important and what's nonsense. Of course, it's not going to speak to all adults. People, who are already living meaningful lives, might just read it and think "of course, so?" Then there are others who simply see the hat and think about figures and don't see anything more. For those in between, I think it's worthwhile to remember.<BR/><BR/>Though at some point, I think we all can get past attachment. The book just leaves everything at attachment.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00553693524752243361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33675153.post-22777716233808957442008-04-05T08:01:00.000-07:002008-04-05T08:01:00.000-07:00Isn't that BCourt from the Balls Leagues?
