life has been really hard on me these past few days years. i kinda want to go to the library in town, check out a g i a n t stack of books, and just read somewhere quiet and out of the way. there are some books i want to read i haven’t read before, and a couple old favorites i want to read again. i’d have to walk there, and it’s kinda chilly outside, but i should be fine with a jacket. letting it warm up a few more degrees, and then i might. these probably are going to be my final days, i might as well do something i want with them… enjoy myself, while i still can.

What books are they? I like reading too but struggle when it comes to choosing good ones. My favourite books are The Witching Hour and Wuthering Heights…I also enjoyed The Passage.
well, mainly things i haven’t read; a couple anthologies of short stories/poems, and wintering by kate moses (have you read it, and is it any good?) i’ve never read wuthering heights even though it’s a classic.
Stay around and talk with us some more. What’s caused you pain the last few years? I hope you find so many books to read that you’re unable to leave us.
several things… involuntary week-long stay at an adolescent psych ward when i was 15, grandma dying only months later (we were close), bullying, cutting, parents are alcoholics and fight often, no peace in the home… recently (well, about 6 months ago, but it might as well have been yesterday) my dad cheated on my mom and it’s only gotten worse… he treats her like shit, i’ve had to intervene in their fights and the fights get worse.
haha, if i could just have my own library and just read, not work, not go to school, not deal with anybody, if i could do that for the rest of my life i’d be pretty happy.
Despite the weather. If it truly makes you happy. I think you should go for it. Books are a wonderful way to get your mind out of reality for a little while its almost as good as music in my opinion. What are some of your favorite titles?
Not only that but gutenburg project great out of print classic books in digital form. Why not write your own stories and share them with the world?
