Books

Currently reading Atonement by Ian McEwan, and Conversations With Friends by Sally Rooney.

Also reading The Oxford Book of English Short Stories, and The Granta Book of Irish Short Story.

All are excellent reads.

Novels

“Novels are like paintings, specifically watercolors. Every stroke you put down you have to go with. Of course, you can rewrite, but the original strokes are still there in the texture of the thing.”

~ Joan Didion

Daydreamer

“The trouble with being a daydreamer who doesn’t say much is that the teachers at school, especially those who don’t know you very well, are likely to think you’re rather stupid. Or, if not stupid, then dull. No one can see the amazing things that are going on in your head.”

~ Ian Mcewan
