    Wow, this is really poetic.

    It might be because I’m already reading something that’s ultimately about trusting other people and fermenting a strong belief in human kindness and compassion, but this is really doing something to me.

        It’s called Dad’s Big Balls: A Bowling Story about a professional bowler and estranged father who wakes up one day with tragically tiny hands and is forced to fight his ex-wife for custody of his children in a bowling tournament while also being able to use only child-sized bowling balls.

        I’m reading When They Cry, currently towards the end of Umineko, and for a series that features a character who self-describes as an intellectual rapist, it is surprisingly compassionate, almost religiously so.
