i have begun reading this novel entitled, "A Trip to the Stars" by Nicholas Christopher. it is one of the most sumptuous and beautifully crafted novels i have ever read. the calculatedly short yet descriptive sentences are pitch-perfect. its images evoke visions of my past and future. they make me think about how i want to raise my children,

Beautiful post. I want to read this book! I'm always thinking of stuff like this as well. I am always thinking of ways to seperate myself from the comfortable life I'm living now and just redefine myself in a new place. It would be good. hard but makes you stronger... Just a thought.

hey beautiful :)

i would HIGHLY recommend this book! it's actually somewhat of a fantasy novel of sorts - the back of the book does a better job of describing it than i could, but it's basically about a young boy and his aunt who become separated and their lives throughout the years as they search for one another. you can check out the description on amazon if you're interested.....

as for the journey, i don't know how long i could do it, but i feel like it's something that in the future might just come to pass.

I have rarely read a more positive review. I'll get right on it.
