When I read Jen’s mournful post<\/a> about the books she’s lost in the various moves between childhood and adulthood, my heart broke a little. One becomes accustomed to losses — and there really are many things you lose between childhood and adulthood — but you hope the losses don’t include things like spontaneity and whimsy — and books.
