"At the end, all that’s left of you are your possessions. Perhaps that’s why I’ve never been able to throw anything away. Perhaps that’s why I hoarded the world: with the hope that when I died, the sum total of my things would suggest a life larger than the one I lived."
Nicole Krauss (The History of Love: A Novel) (via thresca) (via quote-book)
This book was a very pleasant read. Krauss does a wonderful job with character development, introducing 3 characters separately and then weaving their relationship together flawlessly for the climax. As the title suggests, the book is about love, but it focuses on ugly, lonely, struggling side of love.
Note: Thank you Liz, for inspiring me to do a book review, but I kinda feel weird about it haha.
