Types of books: Those that Introduce me to newness, possibilities, curiosities and those that Return me to a place, a sentiment, a connection.
The Great Gatsby is the first book I remember choosing for myself to read. I was probably not prepared fully and too young to attempt it when i did and it was until additional readings when a bit older that i was able to absorb and remember it.
And, now, as I progressed through Norwegian Wood, The Great Gatsby is referenced and I am at once returned to my time & age when I first discovered Fitzgerald while being introduced to Murakami.
My own life paralleled and reflected upon as i connect the stories within the pages to my own.
Love, loss, discovery, seeking, awareness.
I remain curious for new connections, the possibilities ever-changing sentiments place before me.
