"So we beat on, boats against the current"

"I'm Matthew Germenis, and that's a good book." You'll find that this twentysomething is most passionate about Paul Simon, Ingmar Bergman, Bernard Malamud, Mad Men, modernism, Miles Davis, and Yehuda Amichai. Combine those with a penchant for writing Poetry, thinking in Prose, and you've got one Germenis thats eager to share, to provide some passion for your day.

Other people, with nothing at stake, see that there is a look of sadness about her, as if she lives too much in the past or perhaps expects more out of life than is reasonable.” — So Long, See You Tomorrow by William Maxwell
