“A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous.”
House On Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros
I feel in love with this book all over again when I re-read it this week. Granted, I feel kind of silly calling it one of my favorite books because its all about Hispanic culture and I am as white bread as they come--but the writing style is just captivating. Its so honest and thats hard to find--a book thats not trying to be something else, you know? Its so short you could read it in a half hour, and I love that it's not separated by chapters but instead by little vignettes--I'd love to write a book in that same vein...possibly about my college experiences...God knows I have enough material already hahah. Just go and read it okay? Half hour out of your day :) its worth it.

Too far?
