Bill Clinton's book....
my husband just told me that he just finished "My Life" by Bill Clinton and was very sad, because e after reading the epilogue and closing the book he felt like he was saying good-bye to a good friend.

2. I feel that way after every good book I read.
I especially felt that way after Lord of the Rings. I read that trilogy while humping the boonies in the Nam. Only thing that kept me sane I believe. It was worth packing the extra weight but very sad when it was over.

4. I read Prez Clinton's book while he was in the hospital....
I had the book for months but didn't have the time to read it. Once I started to read the book, I couldn't put it down. I sat in my kitchen to read it, then I felt my president needed to sit in the best room in my house, the living room. I read until late at night.

His voice and laughter was right there next to me, telling me his story. It was 3 o'clock in the morning when I burst out into loud laughter, tears were steaming down my face. Almost like in person, Prez Clinton was telling me his experience of when he was baptized. The woman ahead of him, who was already afraid of water, began to drown...her foot got caught on something and they struggled to let her foot lose but forgot to lift her head out of the water. Young Bill Clinton and his buddy were roaring with laughter. I laughed so hard with this part of his story, I wet my pants.
