George Carlin. What the fuck man. I would say "rest in peace" but I feel like that is inappropriate to say to a man such as him. He was so young too, 71. I'm still in shock; he was one of those people who felt like they'd be around forever. I wonder if there's some kind of Joe Pesci heaven for him to go to. Hahahaha.
I'm about to start reading Everything is Illuminated for the fifth time, and this time I'm going to mark off passages/phrases to consider for a tattoo. This book is literally the most beautiful thing I've ever read/seen/experienced, and since a Beatles tattoo is definitely on the back burner for a while because I want it to be absolutely perfect, I want this one to come first.
In all the books I have that I know I'll love, I start a tally in the front cover of how many times I've read it. The Perks of Being A Wallflower has something like eleven or twelve, and Everything is Illuminated is about to have five. Harry Potter IV has three. Those are the only ones so far, but I think I'm about to start a tally in Holes - it's a children's book, but I fucking love it; I'm reading it for the third time currently.
Mmm I love books. Lately I've had this insatiable urge to read. Maybe I'll make some headway on my summer reading list.
