books

some books, i like to read in absolute silence. those books i don't take to coffee, or read at work. i wait to read these books when the house is vacant and the weather cold.

i love a book that you can pick up in the afternoon and read in the absolute silence until you've finished it that day.

i love a book that is steeped in culture. i love superstitious grandmothers and backward thinking. i love revolutions, bastards and unsanctioned marriage. i love foreign words in italics and religion that suffocates the youth.
