Nay, a tumblelog.

Books help us understand who we are and how we behave. They show us what community and friendship mean; they show us how to live and die. They are full of all the things you don’t get in real life- wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. And quality of attention: we may notice amazing details during the course of the day but we rarely let ourselves stop and really pay attention. An author makes you notice, makes you pay attention, and this is a great gift.
