Birds and Sadness

We talk about this book all the time. It's been my favorite book since the moment I finished it. But that was four years ago. I thought it might be time to return.

I'm very happy to report that it's still unbelievable. I was worried that I might have soured over the years, and that my pure love for Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close that I carry around with me always was actually nothing more than naive innocence. I was worried that my bubble was going to burst, and that I would have to find a new book to call my favorite book.

But I don't! The bubble is still there. Round and soapy! Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close remains victorious. Everyone wins.
