I started two new books, and found this wonderful quote in Eleanor Rigby by Douglas Coupland:
Sometimes, at my office, when the phones aren’t ringing, and when I’ve completed by daily paperwork, and when The Dwarf To Whom I Report is still out for lunch, I sit in my chest-high sage green cubicle and take comfort in knowing that since I don’t remember where I was before I was born, why should I be worried about where I go after I die?
It’s a very zen quote, no? I guess the trick will be whether or not I a) finish the book and b) decide whether or not the above linked review in Bookslut is on the money or not.
