I am addicted to books. I love used bookstores because I like the character used books have. And the prices work better with my wallet. I have very little shame. I have a tendency to dress like a nerdy boy. I have three cats; Sophie, Chuck & Moo. I live in Central New York. I have a B.A. in English, and no, I don't know what my life is going to be.

#7: Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Johnathan Safran Foer
The only way I can think to do this review is in the form of a list:
- This book was a weekend binge, but I had to stop reading at times because my heart hurt.
- Johnathan Safran Foer and Nicole Krauss are married and have a son. They live in Brooklyn. I wonder what kind of stories they tell him.
- There are many sentences here worth at least an underline and an arrow exclaiming “I know! I know!”
- New York City is a magical place and even if someone tells you that there is a lot of pain here, it is both true and false.
- I don’t want this to ever be made into a movie. Ever.
- I kind of wish that the characters of this book could meet those from Everything is Illuminated.
- Once I thought I saw Johnathan Safran Foer sitting across from me at Chipotle eating a burrito. This was before I read his books.
- I’m not sure if I’ll ever read this again.
That’s all.
I cried everytime he said he had “heavy boots.”
