Saw this on my friend Molly's blog and laughed:
“The addicts of crossword puzzles are also distracting themselves. They also don’t want to face the world’s grief head-on. They want that transient pleasure, endlessly repeated, of solving the Rubik’s Cube of verbal intersection. But has anyone ever wept at the beauty of a crossword puzzle? Maybe, maybe. I have not.”
-Nicholson Baker, The Anthologist
I am a crossword addict. I love them. The above statement is most definitely true. My friend Paul took this picture of me doing one in class. Yes I was doing it in pencil which I realize is sacrilegious.
