(sorry about the fuzzy photos, I must start remembering to bring a camera around, the Sidekick really is an overrated phone)
Maybe it’s because I’m a bit nosey, but finds like this make me smile, or smirk hha.
I was walking through the Aztec bookstore, looking for a book to buy for class (I try to hold off buying anything till I find out I can’t get it from the library, Amazon.com, ebay or from a friend) when I ran into Sherman Alexie’s novel, Indian Killer. I read it for my English 250b class, back in the day. I picked up a used copy to flip to some quotes I remembered when I noticed a message written inside and it said:
To Xxxxxx.
Good luck on your many
endeavours through life.
We know you’ll turn out
just fine. I hope you find
this novel inspiring &
that you may one day
overcome your schizophrenia.
With love,
Grandma & Grandpa
Wow, what a message to run into. A lot of people are probably wondering why he/she sold it…well I have my theories:
- The bookstore is damn expensive and he/she probably need the money for the next round of over priced books.
- Maybe he/she is not schizophrenic so the message is a reminder of how his/her family has overacted over him/her being “emotional and different” , but he/she is not going to just toss it into the trash (because of theory 1)
- His/Her roommate is an @$$hole and stole then sold it…again, probably reason 1.
Sorry, I’ve got my mind on my money and money on my mind. (oh Snoop)
