Lunch this afternoon was inspiring. I had a burger from a local place called
Paradise Pup and it was so divine, I never wanted it to end. Seriously -- never. The experience transcended hunger. I had no urge to gorge myself. I didn't want another cheeseburger (or two or three) after I consumed that one, because I did not want to stop consuming that one...ever. I like food, but that was a rare moment for me.
One that I highly recommend. The only other gastronomic experience I can compare it to is my first taste of creme brulee.
I have felt that way about a select few novels, too. Out of all the books I have loved reading, those highlighted below comprise a special category, not chosen by genre, literary acclaim, or mass appeal, but by the particular feeling they aroused. Each was a reading experience I never wanted to end.
I have read each of the books on my "Never Wanted it to End" list at least twice. I look forward to reading them again. And I certainly intend to order another Cheddar Burger from Paradise Pup. Soon. Maybe with a side of their Triple Layer Fries...to try something new.
What books, or food, would you add to your "Never Wanted it to End" list?
