IMPROMPTU PROMPTED BLOGGERISH

I Don't Know What Time It Is!

Book finished today:  All The Light We Cannot See, by Anthony Doerr


Fictional characters I've fallen for?  All of 'em.  All the females anyway, some of the males (Jack Harkness). Of course I don't think they're fictional - I don't believe in fiction. Most recently the book I just finished today - Jutta and Marie-Laure, of course!


I have been told on many occasions that I don't have any common sense - I should hope not!  Nothing common about me!  I would think that common sense must be the sense of the common - normal and average people.  And I wouldn't presume to tell anyone the common sense things they SHOULD know.  Wouldn't that be showing a little condescension to the uncommon? If there is anything I do NOT wish to be, it's condescending!  I would be willing to explain things to people that I believe are very sensicle (sp.) - The things not the people.  Although most people I have tried to do that with think it's nonsense. Almost every single, solitary common person, average person, normal person I have discussed this with, for some reason or other, think common sense, is logical, or what they might call sane.
They can't see the beauty in delusion, hallucination and paradox.  I know, right?  What are you gonna do with the common man!?
