Life... It Gives Me Heavy Boots

“I felt, that night, on that stage, under that skull, incredibly close to everything in the universe, but also extremely alone. I wondered, for the first time in my life, if life was worth all the work it took to live. What exactly made it worth it? What's so horrible about being dead forever, and not feeling anything, and not even dreaming? What's so great about feeling and dreaming?”
Honestly, if you find yourself with some extra time, please pick up and read "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close." It has been one of the best books that I've read in a very long time. You will learn, laugh, cry, and ponder your own life as you read this irresistible novel. As many probably know it is also a movie that's currently out in theaters starring Sandra Bullok and Tom Hanks. Though, I would urge anyone to read the book before seeing the movie.
