Books 2008: 61

61. Emma Bull, War for the Oaks.

This book, we add it to the list of books to take a very special place in my heart. It's excellent. Beyond words.

And too, it was the perfect book for me to read tonight, being both beautiful, intense, and hopeful.

I've been anxious a lot lately. That time of month - that time of year, with the exams hard on the horizon and me with a head full of distractions and vague, creeping unease that I can't quite shake. Exercise doesn't do it. Reading does, for a while, but I can't read forever.

I'm sad and I'm afraid? And I don't quite know why, or of what? And I know this doesn't make sense - for fuck's sake, I know it's mostly chemical - but damnit, I would like not to feel a)stupid, b)inadequate, c)weak and d)so goddamn alone at your regularly scheduled intervals.

But, you know. Suck it up and carry on, no? Because I guess that's all there really is to do.
