Artificial Limb


“I feel as if part of my soul has been replaced by an artificial limb,” he wrote. It still doesn’t do what I want it to do. Sometimes, in my darkest moments, I’m afraid it might never again obey me, but I haven’t given up hope altogether.”
- The Man Who Smiled, Henning Mankell

Wow. I really miss beautiful books... it's been too long since I've read for pleasure (as I'm sure has become evident by my "currently reading" feature)
