After being oh-so-inspired by this book, I started reading "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn." I can't remember where I picked up this borrowed copy. (Is it yours, mom?) But, what I do know: someone has already highlighted, crossed-out, and read this copy.
Some of the passages are highlighted, like this one for instance:
"A woman, big with child, sat patiently at the curb in a stiff wooden chair. She sat in the hot sunshine watching the life on the street and guarding within herself, her own mystery of life."
I love that this phrase impacted someone, somewhere, because I also love this.
And, some of the words have been forcefully blacked out- I'm thinking there could've been some curse words used. But, that's okay, if I really have to know what they were, I think I can try and imagine what they were.
But, I'm really enjoying this book, and especially with these added mark-ups... makes it seem a bit more magical.
