I'm a guy and probably don't get it, but I do get your list of real life heroes. The day I run off to find myself, a wife and two kids ain't goin' to like it much. If I can't find myself with the sunrise it would behoove me to try again tomorrow morning.

My girlfriend and I will go to a matinee this week...no way the spouse is gonna want to see this one. <br /><br />I think the appeal is the romantic notion of dropping everything and running off on an adventure to find oneself. Because, apparently, it is easier to find yourself in exotic locales. As far as ending up with a man, God knows I watch enough self-help TV (Oprah included) to be an expert in this area...everyone knows you don't get the man of your dreams until you are happy with yourself. Whatever you seek doesn't find you until you don't need it to be happy. Yeah, I watch way too much Oprah!#1Nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04214011945298439939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434988429360093810.post-2148317130865501842010-08-15T21:46:54.515-05:002010-08-15T21:46:54.515-05:00I loved the book, up until the end!
