I officially have a couple crush.

It started with Everything is Illuminated. Then it became Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. Now, it is firmly imprinted in reading The History of Love.

It's official.

I have a couple crush on Jonathan Safran Foer and Nicole Krauss. Plus, I mean, they're not too hard on the eyes either...


Maybe they will adopt me and I can be like their cool friend/daughter that sits in front of fire places with them and reads their books. Of course, I wouldn't just live there for free, I would help them with grammar and spelling. If they tire of writing I would tell them jokes. And I would whip up all of the mac and cheese they could possibly want.

It's ok if I sleep in a separate bedroom because, obviously, they want their alone time. That is to be expected. But in general we would do everything together, like go to the park and the zoo to find inspiration for their stories, and we would rotate whose parents' house to go to for holidays. We'd be like a writing/editing/hanging out trio. Inseparable - like the three musketeers!
