Finished reading: Steve Martin's Shopgirl a few days back -- (thanks, E!)
"Mirabelle lies back on her bed holding the photos like a gin hand. Each one is a ticket to the past; each reveals a moment, not only in the faces but in the furniture and other objects in the background. She remembers that rocker, she remembers that magazine, she remembers that porcelain souvenir from Monticello. She stares into these photos, enters them. She knows that even though the same people and the same furniture are outside her door, the photo cannot be recreated, reposed, and snapped again, not without reaching through time. Everything is present but untouchable."

B told me this: You are haunted by the ghosts of people who haven't died yet.
~sigh~

Two new happy thoughts:
