It is the little things in life that make me excited. As most of you know, I am stupid. It hit me, after reading Noels blog, that I don't have to buy books, I can just check them out from the library. For some reason, this has not occured to me in years. There is a book I have been wanting to read for about a year but couldn't bring myself to buy it. Now it is sitting on my coffee table at my apartment. It's a beautiful thing.
The book is By Dave Eggers and is called "What is the What". It is a fiction story based on true accounts from a "lost boy" (sudanes refugee) who told Eggers stories over a few year timespan. I don't read a ton, but he is definitely one of my favorite authors. I have read "a beautiful work of staggering genius", one of his first books and it is one of my favorites. By the way, biblioteca does not mean "bible" in spanish. Guess what it does mean.
