I seem to need to feel like I can be a slower person today. So I am, and it's good.

The only thing I need to do is finish this e-book before it expires in a few hours. I think this is the first book I've read where the protagonist talks to her long lost son as a way of conveying the story to the reader.

I'm thinking about The Wizard of Oz more since I have been reading it! And I got this song in my head again: 

Sufjan Stevens & Angelo De Augustine - "Back to Oz"

But there was also a part of The Antidote near the end, in a chapter that's told from the point of view of a cat, where there's stuff about turtles, and that makes me want to look up The Grapes of Wrath again. 

Perhaps this would be a better time for me to read that one. High school was not.
