I started Margaret Atwood's The Blind Assasin the day before yesterday at midnight, and it's so good that I might just finish all 637 pages before midnight tonight. I liked this quote so much that I'm noting it here. The narrator is an old woman, looking back on her life:
This book is full of good ones like that. Although, I would now argue that words are no longer silent. Each letter makes a sharp, annoying clack on the keyboard. Even blank spaces are noisy... on my keyboard they're the loudest of them all.
Today is my day off from everything. I plan on making full use of it by sitting in a cafe on this crisp September afternoon, drinking a warm caramel tea, and finishing my book.
Later this evening, I will continue comparing presidential candidates online. I'm not inundated with lots and lots of cheesy television ads or morning talk show interviews, so I actually have to go seek out this information. It's so much better this way. Really.
Did you know she's Canadian? YES!!!
