1. So books I'd like to read:

    Right now I’m reading ‘Downtown Owl’ by Chuck Klosterman, but there are a lot of books I’ve been yearning to read lately, so does anyone have an opinion on what should be first to my brain?

    Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy

    Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury

    Books v Cigarettes by George Orwell

    Other Voices, Other Rooms by Truman Capote

    Man walks into a Room by Nicole Krauss

    something by Jaque Coustaue (suggestions?)

    something by Joan Didion (also suggestions?)

    something by David Sedaris (more suggestions?)

  4. "A writer’s personality is his manner of being in the world: his writing style is the unavoidable trace of that manner. When you understand style in these terms, you don’t think of it as merely a matter of fanciful syntax, or as the flamboyant icing atop a plain literary cake, nor as the uncontrollable result of some mysterious velocity coiled within language itself. Rather, you see style as a personal necessity, as the only possible expression of a particular human consciousness. Style is a writer’s way of telling the truth. Literary success or failure, by this measure, depends not only on the refinement of words on a page, but in the refinement of a consciousness, what Aristotle called the education of the emotions."

    Zadie Smith

    Mills, I had been saving this in my drafts for a special occasion. THE ART VS. THE ARTIST II: THE ARTENING, I believe, is it.

JIM; Hey, how is Toby?MICHAEL; Toby Flenderson is everything that is wrong with the paper industry. Is he why you left?

The Office, 3x02 The Convention

Oh gosh, I am honestly laughing in front of my computer screen right now. Six seasons in and Michael’s irrational hate toward Toby will NEVER get old. Sorry, Toby!

  6. Things I Don't Understand And Definitely Am Not Going To Talk About

    • When I said, “I think we can be friends,” what I meant was, “I think we are particularly capable of having a spectacular and possibly catastrophic fight at some point in the future.”
    • Maybe tomorrow.
    • Or later today.

  10. "I read persistently. I swam in books as a child and at some point it becomes quite ruinous. It gets to the point where you can’t answer the door without being heavily analytical about it. But ultimately I think they’ve proved to be positive weapons for me."

About

Hi, My name is Michele. My loves are life, peace, and the occasional everyday oddity. I love meeting new people, going new places, and finding new things. My favorite smell is the one of books, my favorite sound is the one when the needle on the arm of a record player hits the vinyl. I love my friends and family, animals, sports, swings, and nature.
