@bookstodon I finished another reread of this book, this morning.

Thomas J. Capano died on September 19, 2011, at age 61, while incarcerated at Delaware’s James T. Vaughn Correctional Center. Authorities determined that he died of sudden cardiac arrest..

As i finished this reread, something struck me like a lightning bolt. We have someone else who had everything going for them, someone who has achieved high political office and wealth, someone also with the middle initial J, someone convicted of dozens of felonies and someone who uses their privilege for their own ends. I think it is beyond sad, and I wonder why each would deliberately choose such a life when they could have chosen the complete opposite path?
