The Unabridged Pocketbook of Lightning by Jonathan Safran Foer

You can actually read all of it in other places. It is a short story that is available online and then three chapters from Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close

Oh. You can never go wrong with Foer. My heart feels like it's swelling up when I read him. He always makes me feel things and I think that's the best literature. When you feel something. I hope he writes more things soon so I can feel more.

So I thought this would be new material, but it turns out that it is several excerpts from his "Extremely loud and incredibly close" and an essay on symbols for the various inflections and silences of a conversation (both of which I'd read before). So this book is a five because yes, the writings are amazing, but you'd be better off reading his full novels rather than attempting to get your hands on this particular tome. Also, the title is amazing.

Also, I borrowed it on inter-library loan and they shipped it all the way from New Zealand. :)

I love Jonathan Safran Foer. Everything I've read by him is profound. I had already read part of what was included in this book, but it was still so nice. I also read Foer probably more slowly than I read anything else. It feels like every word matters and I love it.

no sé si es objetivo y es un poco trampa porque es muy cortito pero tengo el corazón calentito y triste al mismo tiempo
