Kristin Jacques and 4 other people liked Nicole's status update Nicole added a status update: I’m not caring enough to star rate books—or movies for that matter—because what… is the actual point? When it boils down to it, I give a star rating to a book for… what purpose? I have read SO many books, poems, short stories, etc. over the years and the ones I love, I own on my huge bookshelf. Everything else is donated. All the books on my shelves are beloved, and THAT matters the most.

Kristin’s Quotes

“The trouble with writing a book about yourself is that you can’t fool around. If you write about someone else, you can stretch the truth from here to Finland. If you write about yourself the slightest deviation makes you realize instantly that there may be honor among thieves, but you are just a dirty liar.”
― Groucho Marx

“Everybody has a secret world inside of them. I mean everybody. All of the people in the whole world, I mean everybody — no matter how dull and boring they are on the outside. Inside them they've all got unimaginable, magnificent, wonderful, stupid, amazing worlds... Not just one world. Hundreds of them. Thousands, maybe.”
― Neil Gaiman, The Sandman, Vol. 5: A Game of You
