.to say your prayers.

I just finished a book I borrowed from the library but might go out and buy so I can read it again. Sloane Crosley's I Was Told There'd be Cake is hilarious. It's rumored to have been turned into a television show, so hopefully that won't suck the life out of it. In her story "The Beauty of Strangers" she talks about every day kindness that isn't usually praised (and this is not a sappy story) but I just loved this when I read it:

"And perhaps that's it - perhaps it's a post-post-post-9/11 humanity that's trickled down to everyday courtesies like not stealing other people's wallets. Perhaps it's simply that niceness has always been New York's best-kept sercret, kept quiet to keep the tourists out, like how it really doesn't rain all that much in Seattle"

You should pick it up when you get a chance. Or not. You can just, you know, finish whatever you're reading now. I won't be passive aggressive. You know, just do, whatever.
