The Sweet Far Thing by Libba Bray ( Read more... ) -
a book I need to read:
We die containing the richness of lovers and tribes, tastes we have swallowed, bodies we have plunged into and swum up as if rivers of wisdom, characters we have climbed into as if trees, fears we have hidden in as if caves.
