@aworkinglibrary Today, as she celebrates the quinceanera of her blog, I realised that she also:
- is an awesome people herder 1
- is one of the forces behind #ABookApart 2
- is one of the leading lights of Web Design world
- has put in time as a suit (CEO)

All I knew about @aworkinglibrary when I began following her a year ago is
- she has a doggie called Furiosa
- she thinks about books the way I do. 1
- she reads books and then writes about reading them, the way I always dreamed I could.
- she’s a prominent member of my circle of the #EminentDead 2

To read a book for the first time in one’s maturity is an extraordinary pleasure, different from (though one cannot say greater or lesser than) the pleasure of having read it in one’s youth.

I was an adventurer, a traveler, a magic student; God, I was whole. drunk on words for hours….being pulled out at twilight by my mother’s voice, calling me for dinner. eating in a daze, sneaking back up the stairs to fall back in love. minutes and hours and midnight…falling asleep, book clutched in my hand.
you want to know what I’m missing?
when time was our friend.
