It just snows, and snows, and snows, and snows. It is very quiet, when it snows.

Sebastian Haffner: Defying Hitler: A Memoir
A VERY important book. Autobiographical notes written by an Aryan German describing the rise of Nazism from a (seemingly) insider’s point of view. An incredible insight into the nature of us, humans, that raises countless questions. Would we resist too?Marjane Satrapi : Persepolis : The Story of a Childhood
A wonderful autobiographical graphic novel about growing up in Iran during the Islamic revolution. Reading it was a unique experience for me.W. G. Sebald: Austerlitz
A masterpiece.
Yes, it IS very quiet when it snows... always amazes me! :-)

they say it's an illusion - the quiet feel of snow falling, because the amount of movement the eye sees creates an expectation of sound to accompany it, but it's not there. I refuse to believe it, I want to think that this beauty slows the world a little and there's where the quiet comes from.
