"The capital-T Truth is about life before death. It is about making it to thirty, or maybe even fifty, without wanting to shoot yourself in the head. It is about the real value of a real education, which has nothing to do with grades or degrees and everything to do with simple awareness-- awareness of what is so real and essential, so hidden in plain sight all around us, that we have to keep reminding ourselves over and over: 'This is water'." - David Foster Wallace, This is Water: Some Thoughts, Delivered on a Significant Occasion, about Living a Compassionate Life, pages 139-132
Absolutely essential.

Fucking weird as shit oh my god. What was this. Did I dream this?? Most insanely high-billed cast for a children's audiobook EVER. I will never recover from Jay Leno as "Moth Narrator".

Absolutely destroyed me. The story of the Blues Brothers from Dan's own mouth. A true act of cultural preservation; as he says "... which is what we were always about". God, the way he writes. The way he writes about JOHN. The reverence he has. The fucking PASSION! I get it, man. I really do.
Elwood and Jake will always have a place lodged in my heart. Anyway Mr. Aykroyd, thank you so much for this. I promise I am very abnormal about your characters, and I always will be.

"It was August, and the weather was sometimes stormy and sometimes nice, but for Grandmother, no matter what happened, it was only time on top of time, since everything is vanity and chasing after the wind." -Tove Jansson, The Summer Book, page 129
Beautiful and serene. Like reading a Miyazaki film.
