My Second Favorite
Had you asked me Sunday morning what my favorite book is, I would have answered with absolutely no hesitation: “Gone With the Wind”. Like, it’s a part of my SOUL. Hello? It was the theme of my WEDDING.
But today….today things changed. If I were going to be exiled on a deserted island for all of eternity & I could take only one book…well, I would still take Gone With The Wind because it’s longer but I would sneak this one under my shirt.
It’s the most wonderful book in the whole wide world. It’s a FAIRY TALE. For ADULTS. Why did we ever stop reading fairy tales? They’re like a vacation from LIFE. They’re fun. They’re not pretentious. You don’t have to pretend to like them. You get lost & forget to eat or talk to your husband or answer your boss’s emails.
I mean… I’ve heard you might do those things. I am ever diligent. And vigilant.
And I will probably cry when I return this one to the library tomorrow, even though I have six of his books en route to me right now. Including this one.
Here’s a convenient link for you to buy your own: 2nd greatest. Seriously.
