Also, autobiography of red is one of my fave reads of the year and ethics of ambiguity is on my pile because i think that it's an incredibly necessary read.

stephwisker I think if I read them all too fast I would probably have to immediately and permanently leave society… I am slowly working my way through her short stories at the moment though

sofe I just fell in love with her writing... but here's the thing, her writing will always be open to rereading because her writing holds a mirror to the way life works ( if that makes sense)

Allowing things to have their season
Gazpacho only in the late summer, persimmons only in the winter, etc. just because we can import anything from anywhere anytime doesn’t mean we should. Nothing is special if you can have it whenever you want it.
