Swallow, swallow, swallow, sweet honey.

Bitterness is bad for the belly.

A Quote from Elaine

"The goals that we pursue are always veiled. A girl who longs for marriage longs for something she knows nothing about. The boy who hankers after fame has no idea what fame is. The thing that gives our every move it's meaning is always totally unknown to us." - Milan Kundera

Growing up is hard to do.

It's dark outside. It's dark too much now.

The World According to Garp-

I sat down on the breakfast table and found this book lying with it's spine up open to a page about halfway through. I picked it up and looked at it, (with a tiny bit of distaste, because it's in what I'd call a "junk paperback" edition.) But then I started reading it too, from the first page. I snowballed through the first ten pages and I was a little bit hooked. I'm enjoying the world of T.S. Garp.

Runaway, by Alice Munro

I bought this in the winter time, and never opened it. Something wrong with the scroll font of the title and the antiquated illo on the cover. But months later I discovered a love of Alice Munro and have been working my way a bit feverishly through her canon.

Reading her I find, is like being told stories about relatives who died before you were born and only being able to see one or two pictures of them in stiff dress clothes as a way of proving they were really human. Maybe that doesn't make any sense.

I find there is often more details that I wish I could have about each character and their story. And that I'm haunted by their stories; usually sad ones when I'm lying in bed with my eyes closed.

I'm about three stories in.
