Also, my mother sent me a picture on Facebook that is just so, so true:

Finished reading The middle ground a couple of days ago. Currently reading Look at me by Jennifer Egan which isn't very good, but sometimes one just needs to read something that doesn't really ask a lot of you; the "in-between-books" as I call them.

"Sanity and madness. Well, certainly, sanity is a precarious state, a thin ridge, a tightrope. How ever do most of us keep upright? Like tight-rope walkers, by not looking to either side, I suppose, like horses in blinkers. I should never have looked. I should never have looked, I should never have looked."
- The middle ground, Margaret Drabble
