A subtle but emotional ride

Don't go looking for action, all you will find are vast and lonely worlds with nothing but the strength, perseverance, and deep sadness of what becomes of those left behind. A great focus on the importance of our memories and need for connection. Augie is an old grumpy man, stuck in reflecting on his past, that I simultaneously pitied and rooted for. Sully is a wonderful look at the most hopeful of us feeling pain and anxiety and losing that hope, only to find it again in the smallest of moments. If you want something subtle, thought provoking, and it might even make you cry..I recommend this shorter and easy read!
