Isn't she married to Jonathon Safran Foer (Extremely loud and incredibly close)?

[enjoy]

i'm reading that right now! can't put it down.

[sandypandycandy]

if she is - they are possibly the best couple ever!

Can you imagine reading their love letters to each other?

I have this book.
My favorite part near the very begining is when he talks about making scenes so that he'll be noticed.
He says that if he were to die that very day, that he would want at least one person to recognize that he was there, on the earth, that very last day.

I think that is the sweetest thing I've ever heard.
I live by that.
To be noticed, so that if you die that day someone will have noticed you.
