"I told her how until that moment I had not understood that this was a story about lonely people, about absence and loss, and that that was why I had taken refuge in it until it became confused with my own life, like someone who has escaped into the pages of a novel because those whom he needs to love seem nothing more than ghosts inhabiting the mind of a stranger."

The Shadow of the Wind, Carlos Ruiz Zafon

in boring human news, i've been reading up on #dogTraining and #dogBehavior. i finished "don't shoot the dog" last night, and before that read "the other end of the leash." just started "the culture clash" this morning! all three are foundational dog training books, and i already feel like i've learned a ton.

Finished Jade City by Fonda Lee. Very interesting book. Very different from the usual fantasy that I normally read. Looking forward to the rest of the trilogy.
