Mine has been a life of much shame. My eyes abruptly focused on that sentence. I was in the middle of a lot of cleaning with the upcoming New Year. As I organized my book collection, I found myself reaching out to a book. The reason why I ended up picking out this book amongst the many was because I felt some kind of link with the three worded title. No Longer Human. I think it was about the time I got into middle school that I read this book. When I made it halfway through the second memorandum, I closed the book in a hurry and never managed to read much of it beyond that. Back then, the difficulty was a little out of my league and as a middle school student, it was fairly tedious as well. I had plenty of other fun things to read too, so it wasn’t like I was starving for entertainment that I needed to go through the trouble of reading a fastidious and offensive book like this. That’s exactly why I closed the book.
