Missing PA already. ;(
The cool thing about thrift shopping for books, besides the fact that a book that costs $16.50 at Barnes n’ Nobles is only a dollar or pocket change, are all the notations in the indexes, underlining, and random things you find in its pages. It says a lot about someone you’ve never met and allows you to create this interesting character in your head who may actually just have been a boring high schooler with obligatory summer readings.
Today I found this NJ transit ticket in “The Girls Guide to Hunting and Fishing” and decided to put the book down on that note. My imagination is running about this female (I’ve decided that’s the sex) and why and where she was taking the train to as she carried around this book with her. I’ve also, with consideration to the fact that the book is about a young woman finding her way, assumed the previous owner was a young adult, like myself, and just as lost in her own life as I am in mine. And I like to think that she just spontaneously decided to hop the train on April 18, 2003 at 9:02 (am?) with no actual destination except to end up physically lost in a foreign place so that she could mentally find herself. And I really hope that by now, she has.
One thing’s for sure though, I have a new bookmark.
