“My mother is a fish.”

One of the greatest lines in American literature. Holy Faulkner.

She hadn’t hung up nor had I. The phone company had just caught up with their oversight and finally disconnected my line. No more Thumper. No more dial tone. Not even a domed ceiling to carry a word. Just silence and all its consequences.

House of Leaves, Mark Z. Danielewski

This book is a trip and a half. Note: don’t read it before bed. It will give you nightmares.

There is nothing like looking, if you want to find something. You certainly usually find something, if you look, but it is not always quite the something you were after.

About

I am currently in my final year at Northwestern University. I study piano performance and English literature. This blog is dedicated to sharing some of the music and literature I've come across over the course of my life, along with anything else that I find thought-provoking/compelling/beautiful/funny. Sometimes I even throw in the odd original thought.

So come on in, stay a while, have some tea :)
