Amazing.

What has been slowing me down with this blog post business, is that I am trying to write a review of my first read and (consequently) favorite book of the new year. It has been a long time coming, so I decided to give you a little sneak peek. Here is a quote from David Nicholls' marvelous novel, One Day:

"Above the bed is a semi-ironic mirror, and they stare up at it through heavy eyelids, admiring themselves as they sprawl beneath, heads resting in laps, hands searching around for other hands, listening to the music, young and smart, attractive and successful, in the know and not in their right minds, all of them thinking how great they look and what good friends they're going to be from now on. There will be picnics on the Heath, and long lazy Sundays in the pub, and Dexter is enjoying himself once more. 'I think you're amazing,' someone says to someone else, but it doesn't matter who, because they're all amazing really. People are amazing."
