Keeping Sane Through Books

Books to the ceiling,
Books to the sky,
My pile of books is a mile high.
How I love them! How I need them!
I'll have a long beard by the time I read them.

The Soloist by Steve Lopez I was with a friend and mentioned that I really wanted to see the movie The Soloist when they said they really wanted to read the book first. Needless to say, I felt stupid that I didn’t know it was a book. But I’m so glad I found out. Maybe the musician in me makes me biased for why I love this book so much but past all the wonderful musical reference and a plethora of new classical music I want to check out now, it’s really an inspiring story. It also bring up interesting questions about how much humans are responsible for one another and has a lot of psychology information that took me back to junior ear when I took AP Psych. This may be my favorite book from the tumblr so far. Probably up there with The Perks of Being a Wallflower.
