Magic & Sickness
Today was my first day at work since before Christmas. I’m very surprised that I was able to stay awake all day and that the work day went by quickly. After work I went to Barnes & Noble to spend a holiday gift card (got a book of short stories and a book about jewelry making). Bookstores are magical to me. I can spend hours just walking around, browsing and adding books to my “To Read” list.
However, going to big store like Barnes & Noble now has a eery feeling to it as well. It wasn’t until after I got my tea and walked by the Virginia section that I remembered there have been some books published about April 16th. It is unreal to me that I can walk into a bookstore and read a biography about Jarrett, a biography written by a complete stranger. Also, that I would have to pay money to take it with me and read about my brother. Not saying that I want the book, just that it seems weird/wrong that people are paying money to learn about my brother’s life…..even dirtier and sickening….that people who never knew him are making money from his death.
