she'd never met one human being more interesting to her than a good book. so how could she live with an uninteresting indian when she could live with john donne,elizabeth bishop and langston hughes?

does being bookish make you a snob? reading a book can be like actually spending time with the person who wrote it. i like how writing can transcend space and time.
this is part of the reason often i would rather stay home and read than drive somewhere and hang around with somebody. but you can't converse with books. then again,there are a lot of people you can't converse with either!
i just don't like a lot of people. but yesterday was my favorite day at work,even though at suppertime it was apparent that there are lots of new people,all female,and all who seem to want to eat lunch in the little breakroom at the same time. arghhhh!!! i hate inane chatter! and i'm not fond of LARGE groups of women,either. maybe this explains why i'm often not that fond of family gatherings.
having said that,it looks like one of my best gal friends,megan,might be leaving for a better job. bummer. but a good thing for her,so i hope she gets the job because she's really excited about it.
