I'm weary with right-angles, abbreviated daylight,
Waiting for a winter to be done.
Why do I still see you in every mirrored window,
In all that I could never overcome?

I was SO happy to finally see it somewhere. I read the first book well over a year ago. I can finally see how he decided to finish the story.

Absence is such a transparent house
that even being dead I will see you there,
and if you suffer, Love, I'll die a second time.

the luminous grass of the prairie hides
feet lovely and still as sleeping doves,
porcelain bones strong enough to carry a life,
but weighty and unmovable

I bought three books yesterday (well, unless you'd count textbooks too... but bah, they're no fun)- Hard Times by Charles Dickens, Shakespeare's Hamlet and War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy (God knows if I'll ever finish it, though...).
Hamlet and Hard Times I needed for my English Lit. course, but since I decided to make good use of the 3 for 2 offer I thought I'd pick up W&P, too. It was a toss up between that and The Count of Monte Cristo, but I know I'll be loaning the latter from the library some time soon anyway if I don't have my own copy and it probably won't take me too long to finish it. Whereas, with War and Peace... I'm not so confident I'll be finishing that one any time soon, so it might be more useful for me to keep my own copy at home, rather than perpetually having to take it out from the library until I can muster up the motivation to actually finish it.
I love buying books. Too bad I have neither the funds nor the room to make it a regular thing! Still, makes for a nice treat every now and again. And there's always those second hand shops which sometimes house a little gem or two.. though the ones around here seem to be fairly dissapointing (Mills & Boon-esque et al.) Shame.
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.
Northanger Abbey - Jane Austen
Just bought it this morning
I'm the patron saint of the denial,
With an angel face and a taste for suicidal.
