Connie Willis Quote
I was flying out to Connecticut for the express purpose of breaking up with my boyfriend and I bought this set of three paperbacks to read on the plane and by the time I got to New Haven I was so worried about Frodo and Sam that I said to my boyfriend, It’s awful. They’re trying to sneak into Mordor and the Ringwraiths are after them and I don’t trust Gollum and … and I completely forgot to break up with him. And, as of yesterday, we’ve been married thirty-nine years.
