Does not everything depend upon our interpretation of the silence around us?

I miss Henry. I miss him SO MUCH.

I really hope someday we'll get him back. Kal too.

Have you read any of Gerald Durrell's books? If so, which was your favorite? I particularly love Birds, Beasts, and Other Relatives.

I think I have read almost all of them! I absolutely adored the Durrell books as a kid. I started trying to read them too young, and started with A Zoo in My Luggage, which was a bad place to start. My Family and Other Animals is probably the best place for anyone to start with them, though I personally prefer the more collection-focused books. Unfortunately, a lot of the books haven't aged particularly well in terms of sensibilities. I think some of my favourites were The Bafut Beagles, Beasts in my Belfry, The Whispering Land, and The Drunken Forest, but I haven't re-read them in years, and I am not sure how I would rank them now.

I fucking wank to this video almost every freaking night. I'm reuploading it because for some reason it's been uploading in a shitty quality. HIS PECS! HIS GUNS! HIS SMILE! HIM! FUCK ME DADDY ♥

Love, when it happens in Durrell's Alexandria, defines no one, saves no one, and spares no one.

After I first read Justine in 1967, I was never the same again.
