I *love* these colors. And the energy level of the whole selection. But I really can't get into Jonathan Franzen, and I have tried. JP ordered this for her boyfriend MM.

JP is the sister of my friend JP. I like the graphic quality of her favorites, and I enjoyed painting the book  spine (The Know-It-All) that includes book spines running the opposite direction.

These are the books that have most changed me, that helped make me who I am today. At least if I pick right now. Mostly they are about adventure journeys and talking animals. I've always been ridiculously attached to the idea that there's more to reality than we can perceive, and more worlds out there than we realize.
