@nytimes.com blundered into a lovely gift idea. In an article about gifts that cost little to nothing was this notion of choosing a book from the library, and wrapping it.

The abyss of the day gives rise to this elegy.
If I could go anywhere in the world right now, it’d be the library near my first apartment.
They had an outside reading area.
What I wouldn’t give to be there right now, with a nice hot coffee and an obscure graphic novel I’m surprised they had.
