5.0

ms clarice made me laugh out loud, gasp out loud, make faces at ulisses' man-ness, long for the sea, and invest actual interest in the question of god which otherwise typically bores me. lóri's ongoing apprenticeship is also ours, and the end made me want to flip back to the beginning to go through it all again.

...tal vez esa fuera una de las experiencias humanas y animales más importantes: la de pedir mudamente socorro y mudamente ser dado ese socorro.

Un pequeño milagro de libro, se va revelando muy poco a poco, aprendes junto a Lori los placeres... no puedo decir que haya estado todo el tiempo dentro, pero cuando he estado ha sido intenso.

Qué hago, es de noche y estoy viva.
