Alice Young: IF: Dessert

IF: Dessert

I decided to take this week's IF topic and make it personal. What do I consider a dessert? Books! Books are the dessert of choice among my philosophy friends and academic crowd. A good book can make a person drool, as great prose can make one swoon and clarity blow your mind. It can comfort better than chocolate ice cream and bring one home better than apple pie.

I'm afraid that most people simply do not see books the way you do. Also, that's a good looking chap.

Aww! You're leaving me a message!

I ♥:

the smell of wet asphalt, hedges, stepping on dry crunchy leaves, red brick walls, cool breezes on a warm day, the warmth of the sun on a cold day, writing my name into a new book, singing, the process of getting to know a person, paper, hand-written notes from friends, subtlety, being driven around (as opposed to driving), brown paper bags, blowing dandelions, my friends being happy, writing with a pencil, making people laugh, holding a warm mug when it is cold, drinking tea, sticking my face out the window of a moving car, being barefoot & in pajamas, the fact you've read this far.
