I have many thoughts on this one, but I cannot seem to articulate them no matter how many times I try to write this review. I will say that this is not at all King's strongest novel. Not by any stretch of the imagination. I did enjoy my time with it, ...more

Meditations by Marcus Aurelius

I must say I am conflicted. I am always troubled when someone who seems so wise is also so unflinching in their belief in the 'mighty gods'. Marcus talks a lot about the Roman Gods that no one left on earth worships or believes in. There is a great a ...more

The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath

I'm afraid that I have not fallen in love with Plath's prose in the same way I have with her poetry and her personal journal.

Regardless, this remains a classic work. I just feel it could have been something more.

Stephen  King
“I do not aim with my hand; he who aims with his hand has forgotten the face of his father.
I aim with my eye.

I do not shoot with my hand; he who shoots with his hand has forgotten the face of his father.
I shoot with my mind.

I do not kill with my gun; he who kills with his gun has forgotten the face of his father.
I kill with my heart.”
Stephen King, The Gunslinger

J.R.R. Tolkien
“Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men, doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.”
J.R.R. Tolkien

William Shakespeare
“It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves.”
William Shakespeare

J.R.R. Tolkien
“It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn’t. They kept going, because they were holding on to something. That there is some good in this world, and it's worth fighting for.”
J.R.R. Tolkien

J.R.R. Tolkien
“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

No problem. LOTR is of course a classic. If you like it, you would probably also get a kick out of Name of the Wind. Thanks for accepting! :)
