dusty shelf.

i love shopping for used books.
found liv ullmann's autobiography today.
love her.
$4.
 
the preface to this amazing life story:

"i was born in a small hospital in tokyo. mamma says she remembers two things:
a mouse running across the floor, which she took as a sign of good luck.
a nurse bending down and whispering apologetically: 'i'm afraid it's a girl. would you prefer to inform your husband yourself?"

so brilliant.
