i recently picked up a copy of kate chopin's the awakening at the thrift store, as it's been on my list of books to read for ages. when i opened it up, written on the inside front cover i read this:
Allie--
Here's to the greatest little surrogate sister a guy could have. Here's to more salmon polenta and pink skies. Please don't let this book "awaken" you too much, as it has others, hint, hint, nudge nudge. Otherwise, enjoy.
Love,
David
i am irrevocably disappointed in this allie character. david, wherever you are, she may have tossed you to the side (and i may loathe polenta), but i happily volunteer to be your new surrogate little sister.
