Any of you who follow my google reader know that I am an unabashed fan of the tumblr
Slaughterhouse 90210. It's not a complicated concept: pair an ultra modern recognizable image from pop culture with a literary quote and let the irony work its magic! I can't explain why exactly I find it so delightful, but it tickles me every time. My love affair has reached the point in which I often find myself conjuring up these pop culture images while reading (nerd alert, I know). I had such a vivid one come to mind while enjoying Jonathan Franzen's The Corrections, I had to share.
"What you discovered about yourself in raising children wasn't always agreeable or attractive." - Jonathan Franzen
Now comes the really nerdy part. I actually wrote the tumblr author, Maris, my suggestion and she kindly responded right away to let me know she'd already used the
quote. Damn she's good.

It is maybe my favorite blog out there. High and low brow, just like me. I kid, I kid.
I am always in awe with how well she pairs the photos and quotes.
