Mark Strand

I apologize for being MIA lately, but my life is in a state of crazy flux!
I'm starting a new job in two weeks, and I'm looking for a new apartment - a new place to call home, so I've been doing lots of running around.
In my spare moments though, I have been enjoying snippets of literature here and there.
I really loved this excerpt from Mark Strand's "The Weather of Words"

Also saw a really good Argentinian thriller over the weekend - The Secret in Their Eyes.
Recently won the Oscar for Best Foreign Film
