why is there a comma after 84, in 84, charing cross road?: Someones been hiding their inner grammarian.
pictures of bowel movements and what they mean: Is this like those websites that tell you what your dreams mean? I’d rather just read my horoscope at Onion. (Nobody really understands you like your husband does, except maybe for every single American who’s ever read a copy of Atlas Shrugged). If I was married, it would be more than true. Check yours out here.

i love reading books because: it’s better than eating junk food, on the couch, watching bad reality television and plastic Barbie women. Best I could do at the moment. #currentlywatchingthevoice #sorrynotsorry
sonographic studies in lettering bold: It’s like you’re speaking German.
I feel like I could post this video alone on the blog and let it speak the volumes I try to speak to my high school students everyday. Today, instead of fighting another kid, a student asked me to pick him up from the cafeteria when the bell rang. Instead of sticking his fists where the words hurt, he used his words to be a bigger person. I told him, we’re dominant on the animal food chain because we have the ability to reason. I told him not to give someone else control of himself because that’s what fighting is. I told him not to listen to his friends who won’t have a fighting blemish on their record just from cheering him on. We have the ability to say, no, I will not be that guy, that girl, that person, that nobody, that somebody, THAT. I will walk into that cafeteria everyday if I have to, through the hoards of students, to remind just one of my students that they’re important, they’re beautiful, they’re worth it. Tell someone you love them today, tell them they fill a space inside you that rings when they speak.

My adorable nephew loving the U-Haul in the driveway. It is officially an alien ship.

Marry the Beast, Get the Library.
beetlejuice book of the recently deceased: you are my hero.
slug vowel movement: While I know this person misplaced the b somewhere and wound up with a v, this is still a funny search term. A vowel movement. It would be as slow as a slug and leave behind a little letter grease.
literary disco: I want Edgar Allen Poe to be there.
oak tree house reading: The City of Oaks (Raleigh) should build a tree house for reading in Moore Square. That would be fabulous and need fabulous pillows for sitting in a nook and page-flippin’. Pay me when this happens.

attractiveness for a book: I’m looking for a perfectly bound man with a leather spine. If you have gold paned edges and words that are in perfect Georgia font, I’d like to take you to dinner in my purse to mingle with my tissues, receipts and empty lipstick containers. That Southern accented font gets me every time. If your blurb reads “couldn’t put me down,” call me – 1800bokdate.

“I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound or stab us. If the book we’re reading doesn’t wake us up with a blow to the head, what are we reading for? So that it will make us happy, as you write? Good Lord, we would be happy precisely if we had no books, and the kind of books that make us happy are the kind we could write ourselves if we had to. But we need books that affect us like a disaster, that grieve us deeply, like the death of someone we loved more than ourselves, like being banished into forests far from everyone, like a suicide. A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us. That is my belief.” —Franz Kafka
