The Secret History. By Donna Tartt.
Shameful as it is to say, I don't read many books (without pictures, anyways). But I just finished this one, for about the 7th time.
I'm not very good with words, but all I can say is that it's awesome. I started it last week. AnD I've finished it again for the 7th time. It's so good, all I can say is, I wish i didn't exist. And that I existed in the reality of this book. As one one of the several characters in the book, or something.
If i could, I would not be who I am, but folded into the pages of what this book is. Not to say I'm not happy with who I am. Because life is good. But the reality that becomes makes me wish I only existed in idea, and nothing else other than that. Of 'memories I've never known'.
This book is the only thing that has ever made me sit there motionless for hours on end just contemplating things. This and 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind'.
I wish I wasn't real, and only existed in dreams.
