Keeping it Weird on Wednesday

“Mr. Green walks twenty miles a day and is subject to attacks of melancholy.”  from the short story, A game of Clue, in The Barnum Museum by Steven Millhauser

I have no idea why I love the above sentence so much.  The words, the sentence, the  images that form in my head, are just so beautiful.   

Mr. Green reminds me a lot of myself.  Socially awkward at times.  Quiet.  A worrier.  But more importantly, a lover of books.
