shivering beauty

The English Patient is one of my all time favorite books. The author Michael Ondaatje creates a poetic miserably wonderful romantic piece of literature without being cliche. This book makes me sob and dream i could be in such a disastrously perfect relationship. I truly urge everyone with real taste in reading to snuggle up with the kleenex box and breathe it in.

"I want all this marked on my body. Where the real countries are. Not boundaries drawn on maps with the names of powerful men. I know you'll come carry me out to the Palace of Winds. That's what I've wanted: to walk in such a place with you. With friends, on an earth without maps."
