You keep mentioning this book and I keep wanting to pick it up. The middle bit of actually doing something about it is hampered by laziness. I just realised something. I like bookshelves even when they're blurry. Is that a good sign or a bad sign of my obsession with books? :O
hi elementary--i feel the same way reading it that i feel reading dostoevsky (which is saying something)..i get dragged into the strange state-of-mind. it's powerful and perhaps even slightly scary and disturbing while at the same time cathartic to be transported in that way.
