I love what you say here, Katherine. I don't have
literature studies, but there are so many contemporary
books who seem to me workshoped into complete
inoffensiveness. The three books I read more often
than all the others are the Little Prince, To kill a
mockingbird and the HP series. They go straight into
my heart and, at the very least, make me truly
understand and love this world, and want to be better.

Thanks for putting it so nicely.

Mira
