Third time's the charm.
I hate dreams about the past. You know you can't live in it, so you try your hardest not to. And something you've no control over sends you not only to the emotional state you were in in the past but the emotional state you tried to move on from...
I think for the rest of my days, I'm just going to be a crazy person. Yep, just live in that Scottish cave and work on that hypergraphia.
Dear Meg, how are you getting to and from work?
I returned On the Road back to the library because I think I had renewed it the max amount of times they allow. I really liked it and had about 40 pages left, so I checked a survey site, got $10 on Amazon on bought a copy (along with a Beatles CD).
IDK if you've ever read it or heard anything about it, but it was kind of a hard read, for me at least, because sometimes the author's paragraphs go on for a page or the antagonist's speech is as long and/or crazed. However, the characterization is amazing, and another part of why it was taking me so long to read was that I ended up copying anything I liked.
the "le quote" is from a movie,
everything else from On the Road
I think On the Road is overlooked as a coming-of-age story. Maybe a coming-of-age story is not what I think it is, or maybe the characters are perhaps a little bit old, but here are these young people who start the story traveling across the country, free of responsibility. If they want to do something, they do it- and with passion- and they are really living rather than existing. However, as I learned in philosophy, you can't live all of your life as such. At the part at which I paused, everyone started having kids and trying to settle down. Dean Moriarity has four kids, not a penny to his name, and he is still ready charge across the country. As exciting as a carefree life can be, it can also be selfish.
It shall be interesting to see how the new movie will adapt it.
So, after I finish reading it, I'll start reading Prisoner of Azkaban again (or vice versa), FINALLY start Never Let Me Go, Harry Potter, and then FINALLY Mike Birbiglia's book.
