I also think that this book had an impact on me. The reason for such an
impact stems from the author's ability to convey to the reader the simple
pleasures of a sometimes overly complex life. What would life be without the
memories? Memories both great and small. A insignificant memory may not be
astounding at first, but a small memory could be larger when one associates
things with such a memory. Learning to tie a shoe lace, in retrospect, may
not seem like a big deal, but the power, confidence, and realization of its
"addultness" no doubt had a large impact on the author and possibly the
reader- or why else would it have made it into his book? Such little
memories become large when you think about the entire package together rather
than it in just one demention.
