About to start reading
The Road by Cormac McCarthy, because I'm interested to see if it lives up to the hype. I'll also probably reread
The Whole World Over by Julia Glass soon. School starts at the end of the month, and I'm taking some very ambitious Lit courses this semester, so I want to get all of my recreational reading out of the way in the next few weeks.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."
-John Guare, Landscape of the Body
