I know, I know, you're probably sick of me talking about it, but this is why I LOVE TheRumpus.net. And to be honest, it's been a while since I've sat down on a weekend day, with my massive breakfast and coffee to read the website. But articles like this, that seriously move me (I have butterflies in my stomach now) makes me feel that I'm okay. That it's okay that I want to go back to school. It's okay that I want to spend this beautiful spring day by myself to finish my book (A Visit From the Goon Squad). That even if I fall out of love with coffee, I will never fall out of love with reading and books. That I can continue to move for jobs, and stay friendless because I will always have my books (the ones I love keep moving). Okay, now I'm getting stupid but you get the point right?
I have about 100 pages left in Goon Squad and I'm loving it. Egan has an amazing way of letting you really understand the long list of characters without downplaying the importance of all of them, if that makes sense. You know, like the charming people who can make you feel like the-most-important-person-in-the-world at a party but make a dozen people feel that way before you even realize it. I will definitely be seeking out her other books.
The Golden Notebook, no I haven't given up on it yet.
What are you reading these days Caitlin?
