...And Across The Internet, A Plaintive Cry Rolls.

I want to read books for pleasure again!

On of my professor's required that we visit a bookstore this weekend, which was both fun and made me crave pleasure-reading. (Which is so not happening right now because any time I'm not reading textbooks I'm researching for my Europe trip).

Also, I bumped into the book A Northern Light, which I remember reading and loving. Even more than Maddie herself (the protagonist), what I recall most is here poetry-publishing, cigerette-smoking suffragette teacher and her black best friend. I didn't care about it being early 1900s - I wanted him (I can't remember his name) and Maddie to wind up together. They would have vocabulary duels, people. That is how adorable and OTP they were.

Yeah, it's just not the same as killing an afternoon with a book guilt-free.
