“Second-hand books are wild books, homeless books; they have come together in vast flocks of variegated feather, and have a charm which the domesticated volumes of the library lack.”
— Virginia Woolf, Street Haunting, A London Adventure, 1927

For my week of vacation in the middle of nowhere (but with a pool):
BOOKS - the ‘southern gothic meets coming of age’ novel Swamplandia! by Karen Russell (I’m so curious about this) and a Swedish crime book by Liza Marklund for the cheap thrills. Also Suttree by Cormac McCarthy, my first book ever by him.
MUSIC - Lianne De La Havas gorgeous debut Is Your Love Big Enough?, my beloved Chromatics and ‘The Soul Sessions, Vol. 2’ by Joss Stone, hoping she got her groove back. And homemade summer mixtape as usual.
VARIOUS - sunscreen, bikinis, lots of laziness.

“I have noticed that doing the sensible thing is only a good idea when the decision is quite small. For the life-changing things, you must risk it.
And here is the shock – when you risk it, when you do the right thing, when you arrive at the borders of common sense and cross into unknown territory, leaving behind you all the familiar smells and lights, then you do not experience great joy and huge energy. You are unhappy. Things get worse. It is a time of mourning. Loss. Fear. We bullet ourselves through with questions. And then we feel shot and wounded. And then all the cowards come out and say, ‘See, I told you so.’ In fact, they told you nothing.”
— Jeanette Winterson, from “Why be Happy When You Can be Normal”

“When I was sixteen I had only got as far as M [at the library] – not counting Shakespeare, who is not part of the alphabet, any more than black is a colour. Black is all the colours and Shakespeare is all the alphabet.”

“Books, for me, are a home. Books don’t make a home – they are one, in the sense that just as you do with a door, you open a book, and you go inside. Inside there is a different kind of time and a different kind of space. There is warmth there too – a hearth. I sit down with a book and I am warm. I know that from the chilly nights on the doorstep.”
