"In diesem Buch geht es um einen riesigen, göttlichen Wels der unter einer strategisch wichtigen Brücke lebt und diese für sich beansprucht; dadurch ist eine sichere Passage nicht immer gewährleistet und so wurde ein Wettstreit zur Beseitigung des Wel"

quote
“A writer - and, I believe, generally all persons - must think that whatever happens to him or her is a resource. All things have been given to us for a purpose, and an artist must feel this more intensely. All that happens to us, including our humiliations, our misfortunes, our embarrassments, all is given to us as raw material, as clay, so that we may shape our art.”
Jorge Luis Borges |

"A book so big, so epic and so famous that it's destined to be on everyone's list of books one wants to read one day, but when is it actually the right time to go on a journey so demanding and long? Had it not been for my reading buddy Leonard, I prob"

"Publication meeting at Berkley Publishing in early 2014.
Publisher: So, I liked it. But … what was it about? Publicist: It was great! It’s Gibson, it’s going to sell. Publisher: I know, it’s Gibson, and it’s going to sell. But it was … a little hard to " Read more of this review » |

Ms. Smartarse's status update
Ms. Smartarse
is 11% done with Project Hail Mary: “Is this really necessary?”
She pressed the intercom button. “There’s a very good chance the sample in that cylinder is an alien life-form. We’re not taking any chances.” “Wait…you’re not taking any chances. But I am!” “It’s not like that.” “How is it not like that?” She paused. “Okay, it’s exactly like that.”

“Seine Sehnsucht führt ihn aus dem Tor, seine Angst zurück hinein. Und wer einmal der Sklaverei entfliehen konnte, dessen Furcht besiegt die Sehnsucht.”
― Die Gilde der Geometer (Midon)

“The truth, he thought, has never been of any real value to any human being - it is a symbol for mathematicians and philosophers to pursue. In human relations kindness and lies are worth a thousand truths.”

“Life is made of fear. Some people eat fear soup three times a day. Some people eat fear soup all the meals there are. I eat it sometimes. When they bring me fear soup to eat, I try not to eat it, I try to send it back. But sometimes I'm too afraid to and have to eat it anyway.”

“Oh! And they read English novels! David! Did you ever look into an English novel? Well, do not trouble yourself. It is nothing but a lot of nonsense about girls with fanciful names getting married.”

“You remember too much,
my mother said to me recently.
Why hold onto all that? And I said,
Where can I put it down?”

“If you spend enough time reading or writing, you find a voice, but you also find certain tastes. You find certain writers who when they write, it makes your own brain voice like a tuning fork, and you just resonate with them. And when that happens, reading those writers—not all of whom are modern . . . I mean, if you are willing to make allowances for the way English has changed, you can go way, way back with this— becomes a source of unbelievable joy. It’s like eating candy for the soul. So probably the smart thing to say is that lucky people develop a relationship with a certain kind of art that becomes spiritual, almost religious, and doesn’t mean, you know, church stuff, but it means you’re just never the same.”
