Some books
Hey watchers, I'm not sure if anyone reads these anymore, but I thought I would recommend some books that I've read recently, as books are the most steadfast, loving, understanding things that I can give you.
Norwegian Wood - Haruki Murakami - This is the first Murakami I've read and I wasn't disappointed. Though I'm told it's a departure from his usual style I really enjoyed it. He has a great feeling for the balance of light and heavyness, and I felt very endeared to all the characters, although they're stylised to a point it's very easy to imagine them all living in the real world.

And if what is near you is far away, then your vastness is already among the stars and is very great; be happy about your growth, in which of course you can't take anyone with you, and be gentle with those who stay behind; be confident and calm in front of them and don't torment
The Beautiful and Damned
I just finished reading The Beautiful and Damned by F.Scott Fitzgerald. I read it partly because I love him and partly because it's mentioned in Gossip Girl. It was fucking brilliant. His prose is always top-notch, just on the edge of poetry.
"I've often thought that if I hadn't gotten what I wanted things would have been different with me. I might have found something in my mind and enjoyed putting it in circulation. I might have been content with the work of it, and had some sweet vanity out of the success. I suppose at one time I could have had anything I ever wanted within reason, but that was the only thing I ever wanted with any fervor
