It is really hard to be lonely very long in a world of words. Even if you don’t have friends somewhere, you still have language, and it will find you and wrap its little syllables around you and suddenly there will be a story to live in.

Nice! What’s the title? I’m opening a book I’ve had for years but never actually read- Saving Fish from Drowning by Amy Tan. All time favorite author.

Village of stone. I think she has a more recent release but I haven’t had a chance to look it up. Also, Amy Tan is my all time favorite!!! I sometimes wish I had discovered her sooner cuz her books are like life lessons. And saving fish from drowning is her best work. I liked it better than her more popular books.

I’ve written so many words. These days I wouldn’t mind exchanging them for a couple of people, though.
