Quote: What Hungry People Do

Another quote from City of Thieves, to help me remember how blessed I am.

The boy sold what people called library candy, made from tearing the covers off of books, peeling off the binding glue, boiling it down, and reforming it into bars you could wrap in paper. The stuff tasted like wax, but there was protein in the glue, protein kept you alive, and the city's book were disappearing like the pigeons. 
-David Benioff
