You're not "late to the party" when you enjoy an old book for the first time. Books don't have an RSVP deadline. The party started long ago, and guests show up when they're meant to.

Reminder to anyone who needs it today:
Dreaming is resistance.

A number of books have brought tears to my eyes, but today is the first time a library did. All libraries are magical, of course, but the Biblioteca de Mexico is something else altogether. I'll try to explain why.
