“The inferno of the living is not something that will be; if there is one, it is what is already here, the inferno where we live every day, that we form by being together. There are two ways to escape suffering it. The first is easy for many: accept the inferno and become such a part of it that you can no longer see it. The second is risky and demands constant vigilance and apprehension: seek and learn to recognize who and what, in the midst of inferno, are not inferno, then make them endure, give them space.”

It's all personal stuff, for the most part! I'm a big reader, so I like to switch it up and read as much as possible :-)

dude, you have a really interesting reading list going on. I swear that every time I think I got your reading peculiarities figured, you throw a curve ball and I am like what the hell is that title about! Is this reading for pleasure and school stuff? because some of the books are really heavy reads, at least for me.
