the last words on earth


The History of Love
book recommendation

Leo Gursky is just about surviving, tapping his radiator each evening to let his upstairs neighbour know he's still alive. But life wasn't always like this: sixty years ago, in the Polish village where he was born, Leo fell in love and wrote a book. And though Leo doesn't know it, that book survived, inspiring fabulous circumstances, even love.

it is great, from funny to heartbreaking sad. i love the beginning when he takes this phone call, i rolled on the floor just couldn't stop laughing.
