How have I never read Alice in Wonderland? Must remedy this.
“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn’t. And contrary-wise; what it is it wouldn’t be, and what it wouldn’t be, it would. You see?”
The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes “Awww!”

Gets me excited for my copy of Eat. Pray. Love. to arrive in the mail. I won’t let myself see the movie until I read the book - it’s only been about 3 years since I added it to my reading list. No time like the present, eh?
Check out www.abebooks.com for super cheap editions of any book you’re looking for. Seriously, my new copy was half the price of the used copy on Amazon. Shocking.
