mid-july
-The book I’m working on is getting to the point where it feels like work, the point where I have to push through and sweat it out and tap my pens on my paper a lot. But I like that.
- After a hot day, I sprawled out in bed beside the fan and read late into the night. When I finished my book, I was still too captivated by it to sleep. I hovered between living and dreaming for a while, and found myself remembering smells that I had long forgotten. For a moment, they were as real to me as ever before, as were the memories around them. And in that remembering, I made a bit more sense to myself.
-The book I read was The Idiot. I don’t think I’ve read anything better.
-When it’s too hot out, I tend to feel sick and forget to eat.
-Adam is at the dentist.
-It is nice to have no internet in the summertime.


I’m always looking for a good book so I immediately googled “the idiot, book” after reading your post and it led me to a site called, The Literature Network. The entire book was right there before me! Although I much prefer a tangible book I now have the option of reading it online and I like that! I plan to read it! Thanks!
