"There was once a boy named Milo who didn't know what to do with himself - not just sometimes, but always.

"When he was in school he longed to be out, and when he was out he longed to be in. On the way he thought about coming home, and coming home he thought about going. Wherever he was he wished he were somewhere else, and when he got there he wondered why he'd bothered. Nothing really interested him - least of all the things that really should have."



Sounds interesting, for those who don't know its from "The Phantom Tollbooth" book:

Story of my life. I took a look at the link notimetorelax sent (thanks man) and read the exert. Seems like a good book so far. I'll be sure to go out and get it today. That is... if bookstores still exists.


"FOR MILO, WHO HAS PLENTY OF TIME"
