The Five People You Meet in Heaven

I just finished reading The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom. That means in the past thirteen hours I have read two entire books. It feels good to know that I have been productive.

I am not really feeling tired at all. I've been awake since 8:00 on Sunday, and will stay awake until probably 12 am Tuesday. It is good for the body, I bet, to stay up for long periods of time. It makes a person stronger, I am sure.

I have been listening to Faure's and Durufle's Requiems for the past five or so hours. They are beautiful, and make me want to compose a requiem of my own...but to whom shall I dedicate it? I hope to no one. My requiem will simply exist.

I want to hear a prose-requiem.

I read Requiem for a Dream...does that count?

I really enjoy Hubert Selby Jr. except he's obsessed with the name Harry. I think it was Harry...

Now I'll feel like an idiot if it isn't.
