i would very much like a quiet corner in the world to read the afternoon away.
“we don’t read novels to have an experience like life. heck, we’re
living lives, complete with all the incompleteness.
we turn to fiction
to have an author assure us that it means something.”

did any of you read ender's game by orson scott card in your younger days? i picked it up for a reread after recommending it to c a couple of months ago, and we are now both engrossed in the rest of the series (which i never continued after the first read for some bizarre reason). don't be afraid of the ender series' science fiction ties - the books are beautiful and deeply-moving. they stay with you in the way good books tend to do.

Love this post, would be so great to have a book corner like that! In fact, I wish I was at home curled up with a book instead of at my desk...
ReplyDeleteOh I would LOVE to have a little book nook in my house. Someday!
