just bought a kindle. hella psyched.
mom called to tell me her heart was moved by kite runner. was that one of the books i recommended to you in the bookstore in taiwan? yes, she says. don’t tell me anything about it, i say. i just ordered it today and i’m going to read it.
i don’t know what made me so sure she would be moved by it. when i was in the bookstore, there was just something about the rightness of the book. like seeing a stranger across a room and instantly knowing that you are going to be connected for a reason.
i also ordered the glass castle and i was told there would be cake. i’m going to order one or two more to balance these experiences out, and then i’m going to wait until i get to europe to open these.
