Summer Crossing
While my advisors are reading my thesis, and while sitting in the shade waiting for the rare event that an Atlanta bus would come my way, I read Summer Crossing yesterday. It is Capote's Great Gatsby-ish story of social class, youth and rebellion. My favorite quote? "It is very seldem that a person loves anyone they cannot in some way envy." Struck a cord that one, especially because of my tendency to admire these creative expressive (read: unavailable and highly unreliable) types.

Interesting quote, but I'm not sure I agree with Truman. What about people who love us back? Doesn't that take away the envy?
I don't know Kit, I don't have much experience with this =). In my experience love tends to be sort of imbalanced, at least at first.
