I'm torn about this book. It has a lot of good information about people and lifestyles of all kinds (which is great) but what I think I was looking for was a book that was more technical about biology and what kiddo can someday expect while being inc ...more | |

“And, thinking of this judgment I would no longer be able to change, I suddenly felt a kind of relief, as if peace could come to me only after the moment when there would be nothing to add and nothing to remove in that arbitrary ledger of misunderstandings, and the galaxies which were gradually reduced to the last tail of the last luminous ray, winding from the sphere of darkness, seemed to bring with them the only possible truth about myself, and I couldn’t wait until all of them, one after the other, had followed this path.”

“To fall in the void as I fell: none of you knows what that means… I went down into the void, to the most absolute bottom conceivable, and once there I saw that the extreme limit must have been much, much farther below, very remote, and I went on falling, to reach it.”

You're a doll, Helen! I am a very fast reader (sometimes, on a great day, I can read three shortish books), but I never remember ANYTHING. I envy slow readers who absorb and enjoy. My process is more of a driving obsession. Some books, like those on my physical to read shelf, will eventually be dispensed with. Others will serve as reminders of things I meant to think about. And the rest will haunt me until I read them and check them off the list.
Thanks, Icess! So excited!!!
