i’m reading The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton. i’ve been a fan of her ever since reading Ethan Frome where she describes a character as a wizened rose. her imagery is stellar. thus far my favorite quote is a definition of marriage as;
“a dull association of material and social interests held together by ignorance on one side and hypocrasy on the other” (38)
i want to read the book from cover to cover in one sitting. it is that good, but since i have other things to do with my life it probably won’t happen today. i do have all weekend though.
