books + food = epiphany

Bookslut, my fav lit blog, has just launched their online food mag, Saucy, which makes me happy. I have high hopes that the folks who hook me up with great lit week after week will serve some quality food tips.

You may be thinking to yourself, "Self, what's all this about? Books... food... both lovely, but where's the connection?"

Books and food are consumables... and it's all about indulgence, hedonism and the quest for divinity, my friend. While books and food are simply sustenance at their most basic level, at their pinnacle, they're revelatory.

Observance and gratitude for an enthralling novel and a perfect peach serve to elevate us, transport us, and punctuate our daily routines with a measure of hope.

After all, you can't really believe that your life is purposeless and your existence based on nothing when you have something wonderful to eat in one paw and an enthralling story in the other.
