For many years, I’d look forward to summer as a time to
catch up with some reading I wasn’t able to tackle during the cooler, busier
months. I’d choose a series—such as Hilary Mantel’s first two books in the Wolf
Hall trilogy...
"As soon as we express something, we devalue it strangely. We believe ourselves to have dived down into the depths of the abyss, and when we once again reach the surface, the drops of water on our pale fingertips no longer resemble the ocean from which they came...Nevertheless, the treasure shimmers in the darkness unchanged." ---Franz Kafka
