“Before, I wandered as a diversion. Now I wander seriously and sit and read as a diversion.”
― Walker Percy, The Moviegoer
I love this as I do both (sort of-I walk while listening to audiobooks). Fun fact: The real estate agent mother of the protagonist in Love Among the Ruins is inspired by elements of my grandmother and mother. Grammy had no idea and I mentioned it after having to read the book for a college class and she was horrified. I knew the story of Percy writing her an ugly letter after she fired his wife.
