What I'm reading...
I started reading "Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close" by Jonathan Safran Foer last night for my Fund. Lit. class with the sole intention of completing the homework assignment (pages 1-75).
...It went so quick and earlier this afternoon, I found myself on page 110.
I'm enjoying this book more than words can express. The writing is so poignant and mesmerizing. I haven't read a book this good in while and it feels amazing. Even though I'm reading it for class, it doesn't feel like I'm dragging myself through it or annoyed in the least.
Well, I may be a little annoyed because my writing is so inadequate compared to his.
><
Haha.

I actually read this book (Reader's Digest version) back in April, but picked it up again last night.
My grandmother sat me down in her small but beautiful house in Arizona one afternoon after lunch.
She asked me what kinds of stories I enjoy reading.
"Anything with mystery and attention to detail. It may be nice to have some love in there, too..."
She laughed and told me I could have one of her Reader's Digest collection of stories.

In that collection was "The Girl Who Chased the Moon" by Sarah Addison Allen.
She said it was perfect for me.
I went home and devoured it...When I'd come up for air, I couldn't breathe. It was that good.
I'll probably be taking it with me on the trip out to Colorado on Tuesday...Long bus ride=grumpy Chelsea.
I love forgetting about a book for a while, then opening it up again, and finding out why I loved it the first time.

What I'm listening to...
"Lost Things" by A Fine Frenzy.
I just found this literally 5 minutes ago.
I am speechless.
So beautiful.

So beautiful.
I wish I had her hair.
Zac probably doesn't.
