I've got this energy beneath my feet like something underground's gonna come up and carry me

    Some times, there is no controlling life, you know what I mean? No matter how well you want to line your ducks up so you can step back and sigh peaceably at the row of smooth orange beaks, there will be some fateful hand to come down and smite your paltry little order. And you know what? It's okay

Hello there.

You don't know me, and I don't know you - but I'd like to. Stumbled over your words in booksellers community, and I'm adoring the read here. I've friended you. I hope that's OK.

I know this is the wrong post, but _Little Big_ is a corker of a read, no?

Friending is generally okay, yes, and thanks double for dropping in the note.

Little Big was and probably remains completely great, yeah. I've been nosing around some of his other books, but none of them appear to have the same immediate brilliant appeal. I think the classy cover on the edition I picked up really helped frame the way I approached it.

I completely didn't see this post when it came around the first time, but it's fun to discover on a snow-filled night when the only thing I have to do is desperately try to stoke a wood fire to life.

Meeting new people is fun, and I always want to do it more, which was part of the brilliance of travelling.

Thank you for taking the time to wade through it all and finding it fun.

I, unfortunately, live at this perfect crux of communities where I know in my core that I have the opportunity to meet people like -that- *finger snap* if I just move the right levers into position. Which is occasionally difficult. But right there, just outside of my current grasp.
