Sleep

Got a new job. Been working more than ever. Time to sleep and bury myself in some books. Currently reading A Million Little Pieces by James Frey for probably the fourth time.

Summer Reading III

(thrifted bag and Dtox sunglasses)

"Cars pulled up beside the road, engine heads off, tires mended. Cars limping along 66 like wounded things, panting and struggling . Too hot, loose connections , rattling bodies. (...) People in flight along 66. And the concrete road shone like a mirror under the sun, and in the distance the heat made it seem that there were pools of water in the road."

This is a great book that's filled with historical references and characters that are very relatable. This is the third Steinbeck book I've read, the others being Of Mice and Men and East of Eden.

summer reading II

This is the latest book I've read. I wasn't a big fan of it. The story was bleak and overall boring, but what made this novel memorable was the descriptions of the characters. Proulx has a way of describing a character in such a strange, but totally tangible way. "Desire reversed to detestation like a rubber glove turned inside out."
