"...a permanent scowl in book form." so excited to be finally listening to this! i was in a bad mood driving home so i put on some Luvvie and was grinning in no time!

omg, this Chinese edition is gorgeous!

not a quote from the book, but i love this quote by George Santanaya at the beginning of Barkskins. it's pretty much my life philosophy in a nutshell.

"The smoke from ships and the exhalations of the river left a haze that blurred the world and made the big liner seem even bigger, less the product of human endeavor than an escarpment rising from a plain"
