“There are two motives for reading a book; one, that you enjoy it; the other, that you can boast about it.” - Bertrand Russell

Can anyone attest to this quote, have you ever read a book just to say you've read it? As for myself, I can't say that I have. I read books because they seem like a good read. The only book I can think of wanting to read is Catcher and the Rye, not so much to say that I have read it but to understand when people or TV shows make a reference to it. 

A Love Poem

On My Mind:: this love poem


While browsing through Barnes & Noble one day lookin for med school stuff I came upon Nikki Giovanni's little book of love poems. The book is called, Bicycle: Love Poems, and the poem I liked is called, Love and the Meaning of Love. Here it is below:

Love and the Meaning of Love

I wanted to
But you couldn't

I hoped
But you wouldn't

I understood
Why we shouldn't

So you declined
And we didn't

Bit it would
Have been fun

If we would've

-Nikki Giovanni
