Never consent to take our books
...in the back of my closet, where I had curled up atop a pile of books. As an older child, I heard this story and thought that sounded like the most wonderful way in the world to sleep. Even as an adult, it seems cozy to me. I am imagining now sewing myself a blanket out of the pages of favorite books.
