Gentle and Bookish and Ever So Slightly Confused
September 24, 2011
When we were sixteen, the books stopped coming. Who can say why? I have thought of every scenario. What is certain is that by that time, the damage was done. We were addicts, hooked on books, on their reading and on their acquisition. And so we became who we are: gentle and bookish and ever so slightly confused. It is not a bad way to be, when all is said and done. Which, for the moment, it is.

Love this book :) Thanks for sharing some of it and thus recalling all my memory of reading it!
I reread it earlier this year, and I loved it even more the second time around! (Which I wouldn’t have thought possible.)
