“And it's a life with no shortage of moments to recommend it, a life that picks up speed like a boulder rolling down a hill, easy and natural and comfortable, and yet beyond control somehow; it all happens so fast, you wake a young man and at lunch are middle-aged and by dinner you can imagine your death.”
From
Beautiful Ruins by Jess Walter (My mother's favorite book she's read this year.)
Love it!
ReplyDeleteI read so many books and enjoy almost every one. But this one was really special. I thought about it long after finishing it.
