Day 292: Reading



Tonight I finished reading a book. It was a heartbreakingly well written book all around but the very last sentence made me--seriously--burst into tears. Like, great gobbing sobs. It was beautiful and it reminded me very much of what I love about reading. Such emotion and pain and love and beauty in simple words. We are very lucky animals to have learned to read and write.

That said, this is not a self portrait. If *only* my hair were that shiny...

It was "The Namesake" by Jhumpa Lahiri. So amazing. So incredibly amazing.

Yeah well, she is SERIOUSLY backlit, yo. That's why she glows like Diane Sawyer...

Ha! That makes me want to watch old DS interviews and remember my voyeuristic celebrity childhood. :D
