We never stop reading, although every book comes to an end, just as we never stop living, although death is certain. (Roberto Bolaño)

(BTW: If you’re flashing now on Twilight, I want you to go to your room and think about what you’ve done.) 
Nice article.

"For a few seconds Oskar saw through Eli’s eyes. And what he saw was … himself. Only much better, more handsome, stronger than what he thought of himself. Seen with love."

Re: A Sceptic who Saw the Light
I mean it's not entirely hard to see the manipulation theory in the film on the surface. I mean if you've never read the book and were just looking at the film on the surface, you could totally see the manipulation theory at work. But look a little closer like this writer did and you'll see it's actually a very receptive and mutual bond between them 
For me, the horror of the story was moreso that it was Oskar shredding his attachment to humanity and embracing the killer inside him by being with Eli. (that doesn't mean he loses his humanity entirely, but he does sever all ties to humanity to be with Eli come the end and there is indeed some horror to that depending on how you look at it)
Great piece though. I saw this on Facebook. A Facebook friend of mine knows my infinite love for this film and shared it with me.
