Proud Piper

Garrett Highlands Pipes and Drums at the Accident, Maryland Fourth of July Homecoming Parade

I finished the book

Orange is the New Black by Piper Kerman today

and also read the book Humans of New York by Brandon Stanton.

The first is a memoir set in a woman's prison.
The second is a photo book created from the popular blog by the same name.

My favorite quote from Humans of New York is:

"Why do so many people seem to love righteous indignation?"

"Because if you prove you're a victim, all rules are off.  
You can lash out at people.  You don't have to be accountable for anything."

Ah, yes...the righteous indignation crowd...gotta love them.

Today I am thankful for good books.

On days like today, it is good to be whisked away from your own reality

and into the world created by a good book.

Next up on my reading list...Orphan Train by Christina Baker Kline.

You can keep up with my collection of quotes and the books I've read,
