"How readily our thoughts swarm upon a new object, lifting it a little way, as ants carry a blade of straw so feverishly, and then leave it..." - The Mark On The Wall, Virginia Woolf Creative Commons License

Once you pass a certain age, life is just a continuous process of losing one thing after another. One after another, things you value slip out of your hands the way a comb loses teeth. People you love fade away one after another.
Haruki Murakami (1Q84)

and a few friends,
those who reach into my veins.”

Virginia Woolf, Geoffrey Chaucer and Raymond Chandler as food writers? Mark Crick of the Independent imagines the contents of the celebrity cookbooks of yesteryear

Never thought I’d enjoy this book so much. It’s the best “self-help” book I’ve ever read!
Have a life. And grow a heart.
Charles Yu, How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe
Haven’t bought a single book in the last two months after getting a Kindle. While I still prefer reading in the traditional book form, I find it quite surprising that I was able to finish four books in a month with the Kindle. And here’s the latest book I’ve read, Julian Barnes’s “The Sense of an Ending”, the winner of this year’s Booker Prize. 
Aside from books, I’m a big fan of notebooks. Especially the little ones which you can easily slip in your bag. Here’s some of my overused and unused ones (yes, there’s no middle ground): Moleskine cahiers, Venzi design journals, Muji notepad, and a flipbook a friend got me from Korea.
