you know what i love?  book recommendations.
infinite jest and although of course you end up becoming yourself just showed up on my doorstep, and are currently numbers 4 and 5 on my jeeze-i’ve-gotta-find-the-time-to-read-these list (after finishing cloud atlas, reading it’s kind of a funny story so i can recommend it to my sister, and reading god says no so i can recommend it to my mom…and before arkansas, the convalescent, and vacation).
you know what else i love? surprises.  like when i figured out that the handmaid’s tale totally takes place in cambridge.  and finding out that infinite jest does, too - in inman square, of all places:

…but seriously, i’m glad i moved.  and it’s gonna take me forever to get through that jeeze-i’ve-gotta-find-the-time-to-read-these list, especially because i keep getting more books…and less time.  uh-oh!
