“One day I would have all the books in the world, shelves and shelves of them. I would live my life in a tower of books. I would read all day long and eat peaches.

“It was true what Jim said, this wasn’t the end but the beginning. But the wars would end one day and Jim would come then, to the island they would share.

For maybe it was true that no man is an island: but he believed that two very well might be.” IfsMenWellsSaidTwoWarEndsHomeMightLyingSeaShareBrokenArmsOne DayBuiltRainSeasonsIslandsStreamsComing HomeSwimBricksReckless Author:Jamie O'Neill
