"Tapping out @ 72%. While this whole book is designed to make people feel uncomfortable and to be graphic, I fear we've crossed a line and it's making my skin crawl reading a specific scene. Will try to pick up again later because I only have 80 pages"

"Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind." This isn't a book (it's an essay) and it isn't exactly a review (more like my general thoughts) but I read this around 10 days ago and I've been sitting with my thoughts ever since tr" Read more of this review » |

"Again, knew what I was getting into lol. But this was a good conclusion to this! I liked watching how the relationships progressed and how the plot was slightly more relevant with Manson’s father. The ending was adorable and it was just a no brainer "

“Ordinary . . .” I mumbled. To be like others. To be ordinary without having experienced terrible ordeals. To go to school, graduate, and if lucky, go to college and get an okay job and meet a woman I like and get married and have kids . . . things like that. Put differently, to not stand out.”

“All myth is an enriched pattern,
a two-faced proposition,

“We get trapped in our own little bubbles, and even though the world is a wide and mysterious place, our bubbles keep us safe from that. To our detriment.” She sighed. “But it’s so easy because there’s something soothing about routine. Day in and day out, it’s always the same. When we’re shaken from that, when that bubble bursts, it can be hard to understand all that we’ve missed.”
