Henry: When you live with a woman you learn something every day. The hardest lesson is Clare's solitude. Sometimes I come home and Clare seems kind of irritated; I've interrupted some train of thought, broken into the dreamy silence of her day. Sometimes I see an expression on Clare's face that is like a closed door. She has gone inside the room of her mind and is sitting there knitting or something. I've discovered that Clare likes to be alone.


I read this a while back, and was surprised by how gripping it was. I really couldn't put it down! I think I devoured it pretty quickly, at the expense of my studies.

It's a spin on the more traditional 'love stories', and has a really poignant ending.

It's really confusing in the beginning! I found it hard to really get into it, but once I was, I couldn't wait to see what happened next, and there are a number of 'scenes' where I don't really get what's happening. It's a good read.

Age is truly about mind over matter; if you don't mind, it doesn't matter. Mark Twain (I think)

I've found that for 'happening' things in life, instead of saying 'why' or 'what if', it would be so much more powerful and productive to ask 'how'... -inspired by 'Anthem of Why'

I've heard that The Time Traveller's Wife is really good actually... maybe I should get around to reading it!

Speaking of time travel (I know this is OT but anyway), I saw The Lake House with Keanu Reeves & Sandra Bullock the other day. I don't really like either actor at all, but I must say I thoroughly enjoyed the movie!
