books - the time traveler's wife, salinger, vonnegut, siddhartha, everything by anne carson, one hundred years of solitude, poetry poetry poetry, the kind you read out loud, lots of fun short fiction, some bits of important long fiction, any and all books that smell good like old paper and memories
