Finished Things we Didn't See Coming last night and have begun The Lost Life. It has T.S. Eliot as one of the characters and another, Catherine, tells that literature is her first love and her whole reason for studying at all. So it would seem that this book might be quite a bit about books and writing.It is Catherine who would say that poems, novels and stories "give people the lives they will never live and fill them with a yearning for something else, something more. A way of living in the world that doesn't exist yet. Doesn't yet exist but dreaming about it just might make it so. And books that speak about these things just might make it so by inspiring people to go out there and create their lives, not have their lives imposed upon them."
