Introduction	I wander through fiction in search of the Truth. To me, books are a medium for a message, not a message unto themselves. Books are beautiful because of their ability to inspire and bring to light Truths that otherwise might not have been realized. I love the smell of them and the home-y feel that a shelf-ful gives a room, but a book is never worth more than the story it tells or the message it sells.

Why does the color blue mean raspberry-flavored?

I actually have a theory about this: Raspberry is the easiest flavor to recreate, and thus is the most natural. Blue is the most unnatural color in nature (there is no naturally blue food, even blueberry juice is purple). By combining the two, they cancel out blue's fakeness with raspberry's realness and achieve perfect candy harmony. Gross, but perfect.
