Casey Lawrence and 47 other people liked Paul Bryant's review of Stranger Than Fiction: Lives of the Twentieth-Century Novel: "This is a worthy chunk of brainy typing. It was the opposite of what I was hoping it would be (a survey of the 20th century novel). It kind of worries me that I seem to be the only person not rhapsodising about it. What Edwin Frank means by The Twent" Read more of this review »

Casey’s Quotes

“Saying 'I notice you're a nerd' is like saying, 'Hey, I notice that you'd rather be intelligent than be stupid, that you'd rather be thoughtful than be vapid, that you believe that there are things that matter more than the arrest record of Lindsay Lohan. Why is that?' In fact, it seems to me that most contemporary insults are pretty lame. Even 'lame' is kind of lame. Saying 'You're lame' is like saying 'You walk with a limp.' Yeah, whatever, so does 50 Cent, and he's done all right for himself.”
― John Green
