Too Many Depressing Books

     Warning: This post contains spoilers.
     I finally finally finally finished Me Before You and I have no idea what to think about it. I knew what was going to happen from page one, so I guess that kind of spoiled the book for me, but towards the very end there was still part of me that hoped it wouldn't happen. I guess I understand it, and it was very realistic, but I'm still not exactly thrilled with it. I think I've just read too many depressing books lately. I finished Kira-Kira yesterday and the girl's sister dies of cancer and then in Me Before You the second main character kills himself. I'm on vacation! Why am I reading about people dying? Oddly, I didn't cry at either book. Maybe I'm just heartless. I think it was because I knew what was going to happen in both books, so I had hundreds of pages to prepare. I think Me Before You will make a great movie though, especially with Sam Claflin playing Will Traynor. Anyway, that's all I have for today.

Day 547 Song Recommendation: "Enough to Let Me Go" by Switchfoot. "Do you love me enough to let me go?/To let me follow through/To let me fall for you, my love"....
I wish I hadn't already recommended "Low Rising" by The Swell Season because it's the perfect song for Me Before You:

I wanna sit you down and talk 
I wanna pull back the veils and find out what it is I've done wrong
I wanna tear these curtains down
I want you to meet me somewhere tonight
In this old tourist town

And we'll go
Low rising
Cause we've gotta come up, we've gotta come up
Low rising
Cause there's no further for us to fall
Low rising
Cause I fear we've had enough, and we're
Low rising
All for the love of you

I wanna take you to the rock
I wanna jump right in and see what that big ocean's got
I wanna turn this thing around
I wanna drink with you all night until we both fall down

'Till we go
Low rising
Cause we've gotta come up, we've gotta come up
Low rising
Cause there's no further for us to fall
Low rising
'Till I feel we've had enough, and we're
Low rising 
All for the love of you

(Low rising)

Low rising
Cause we've gotta come up, we've gotta come up
Low rising
'Till I feel we've had enough
Low rising
Cause there's no further for us to fall
Low rising
Oh

All for the love of you

(For the love of you
We're low rising, low rising
I wanna sit you down and talk
I wanna sit you down and talk about it all
