Knitting, waffle eating and just in the beginning of reading Jan-Philipp Sendker's book
The art of hearing heartbeats. I have been waiting for it at the library for a long time,
finally it was my turn....*smiling*..
A couple of quotes from the book:

"Only a few days earlier he had explained to her that he did not merely read books but traveled with them, that they took him to other countries and unfamiliar continents, and that with their help he was always getting to now new people, many of whom even became his friends."

“Can words sprout wings? Can they glide like butterflies through the air? Can they captivate us, carry us off into another world? Can they open the last secret chambers of our souls?”
