Resh Susan

@thebooksatchel

Resh is usually thinking about words or food. She is often non-aligned but in her own fussy, peculiar way -- both tea and coffee (weak black tea, strong chaya, weak black coffee and moderately strong filter coffee), annotated books and crisp, unblemished pages, descriptive prose and illustrations, books and movies.

@bagfullofbooks

"I see the world through these books. When I look at a map of North America I see Anne of Green Gables in Prince Edward Island, L.M. Alcott's Orchard House in Concord, Massachusetts, Laura Ingalls Wilder in the Wisconsin Woods, Huck Finn in the Midwest and Hemingway's house in the Key West," Arpita in her own words.
