| At first it's very, very cringy and creepy, sickening. You want to stop reading. The only reason I kept going is that I know Nabokov was a linguistic genius. He had a very distinct and unique way of turning a phrase. He was a literary "wordsmith" (I ...more | |

| Wow, I finally finished. Listened on Libby. The first 30% was pretty boring and it took me a while to get into the story. Then it got good, well, interesting to a degree. Then I fell asleep just around the time I was seventy percent of the way throug ...more | |

| A good book. Gems of wisdom for writer wannabes on just about every other page in plain spoken language. Along with that you get a story, or highlights thereof, of adventure regarding a young man's life and times. Snippets of L'Amour's life wandering ...more | |

| Seems like solid info and there were plenty of examples. Perhaps I needed to sit down and read the book first and then listen to reinforce things later. I have read other books similar to this and have at times been really interested in the subject. ...more | |

“I have outlasted all desire,
My dreams and I have grown apart;
My grief alone is left entire,
The gleamings of an empty heart.
The storms of ruthless dispensation
Have struck my flowery garland numb,
I live in lonely desolation
And wonder when my end will come.
Thus on a naked tree-limb, blasted
By tardy winter's whistling chill,
A single leaf which has outlasted
Its season will be trembling still.”

“No fiction is worth reading except for entertainment. If it entertains and is clean, it is good literature, or its kind. If it forms the habit of reading, in people who might not read otherwise, it is the best literature.”

“Maybe...you'll fall in love with me all over again."
"Hell," I said, "I love you enough now. What do you want to do? Ruin me?"
"Yes. I want to ruin you."
"Good," I said. "That's what I want too.”
― A Farewell to Arms

― A Farewell to Arms
“All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they had really happened and after you are finished reading one you will feel that all that happened to you and afterwards it all belongs to you: the good and the bad, the ecstasy, the remorse and sorrow, the people and the places and how the weather was. If you can get so that you can give that to people, then you are a writer.”
