“It was raining and we turned up the lamps which the setting sun had temporarily eclipsed.”

ReReading Jonathan Safran Foer.
Finished Eating Animals two novels ago. He has a way with words that keeps me coming back, I’m fascinated. So, after that I attempted to rewatch (which is by no means similar to rereading, and does less justice to most novels anyway) Everything Is Illuminated. I like the concept of that book. I hate reading [...]

“the pain of love does not break hearts, it merely seasons them. The disappointed heart revives itself and grows meaty and piquant. Sorrow expands it and makes it pithy.
