‎Jacqueline got very excited about a new promo for Adventure Time which features "the secret guardians of the library."
Matilda was dismissive. "They're just made of paper."
JZ: But that's what books are made of!
Matilda: Real books aren't made out of paper!
JZ: What are they made out of?
Matilda: Juice. And skin.

What books have you been giving her??

Or as Javachik said while I was talking to her the other day "So, for you reading 'The Help' is practically literary?" It's true.
I did? Wow. Hope it didn't sound as condescending then as it looks in print. Sorry!
Hahah! No no, not at all--true, and I got what you meant. It was probably also better in context. :)
That's true for me, too. Though I did read
Dubliners
in the spring and am 37% of the way through
Anna Karenina
(I do about 5% at a time, every few books. I like it a lot but oh, it's so long.) so this year is going better than most in terms of works of literary literature.
