The Universe and I

Nov 26, 2009 19:11

I have the best parents in the entire universe. I suppose every kid has said that once or twice, but I'm not a kid and this is the absolute truth. Let me rephrase that - I have the best parents I could possibly have. They were not always there and they didn't understand my every choice, but they gave me the most precious gift they could. Although ( Read more... )

I am so into this, it might become slightly unhealthy. But yes, you and Laura will have to live knowing you're loved less than Lindy and Daniel. LOL I'm sorry.

Dude, creepy is our standard, haha.

So where can I get this amazing book?! =) And I want to hug you right now hun. I really do. I miss you terribly!

Ma petite Ella, how I've missed you. I have to work now, but I'm going back tonight and reading all your entries. I need to know how your life is going.

As to the book, it is not yet published. I'll be the first to let you know when you can buy it.

I learned to read when I was 4, almost 5, and my parents fed my book hunger ever since.

I was JUST talking with my grandma about how we both absolutely couldn't live without books. And then we waxed poetic about Cormac McCarthy's "The Road" for about 20 minutes lol.

My sister never reads books and I just can't understand it. I really can't. I love books, I lust after books, I yearn for books, and I cherish books. There are certain books in my library that I absolutely cannot wait to share with my children. Books are my life.

P.S. I want to read your review, but does it contain any spoilers????
P.P.S. <3 <3 <3

See, I was lurking there and listening to your conversation. I like your grandma already.

How old is your sister? I really don't understand people who don't enjoy books but I suppose it has something to do with how they were introduced to it. I don't know, I couldn't live without the escape and the magic literature offered me. I have a list of books my children have to read, as well. That's a problem because said children are definitely not in the way. Can I babysit yours? I love children.

PS: No spoilers, except if you count a few traits of Lindy and Daniel's personality. I wouldn't dare ruin the plot to anyone, it's a unique experience to see for yourself.

Like I said on Twitter: I am SO jealous you got to read it. And this review has made me even more determined to get Green as soon as it's on shelves! <3

YAY! I'm sorry for making you jealous, but that's exactly how everyone should feel about Green. Thank you.

This review is really making me itch to read Green (as if I wasn't before).

And about the love for reading, I can't understand it if people do not like to read. What is there not to love? You get to travel to different places while staying in the safety of your own home. You get to go on adventures you wouldn't normally be able to do within the confines of this reality.

And now, my child is currently reading. She's a bit of a late bloomer (reading at the age of 6), but she's making up for it by being so insatiable about reading. To the point that I had to buy her a book light so she can read while I'm driving at night. Coz all she does is read. Seriously. I need to stop the child from reading while we walk around the grocery store (while she goes "but I can still see where I am going even if I am reading, Mommy. See?" and proceeds to demonstrate such feat). And it fills my heart with joy. And helps me remember the magic of reading, especially when my current reality burdens me with the mundane crap adults have to deal with.

I know. I just finished it and I'm itching to read it again.

Literature has always been my favorite escape. I agree with you, I can't understand what is not to love. Perhaps if you're not introduced to it properly, I guess. But still, the things it has given me are more than I could ever find anywhere else. Not music nor painting, not even films offer such amazing, Brave New Worlds.

She's not a late bloomer at all. My half-sister only learned to read at 7 and we had the same schools and father. Everyone is different. But omg, this made me smile widely. I was that girl trying to convince my mother that I can read and walk at the same time. I love her already. It's nice to be reminded of that pure pleasure we felt, unlike the frustration of spending $200 in a textbook we're going to read once.
