a little quote from my reading...
"Frankly, I’m glad to get out of the city. Charles loves all that frenzy, the noise, the endless possibilities. To me, it’s one long shriek of rage, that’s what I hate most about the city–the fury of so many people’s resentment and frustration and, well, they’ve been put in a space too small for so many, a big filthy loud dangerous ugly unsanitary uncivil and foul-smelling cage. Like rats, they start biting off their own feet, not to mention yours. " - Dolores from Craig Lucas's Prayer for My Enemy
I couldn't have said it better myself...
