A bit thin for an entire book, this could have easily been a long article. On the positive side, this is a great introduction to intuition and creativity for those suffering from chronic illness, burnout, isolation, or depression. There are no "cures ...more

A little annoying to realize how much of your behaviors, thoughts, and actions are due to conditioning, expectations, cultural norms, and incorrect assumptions... enlightening and a great reminder that you're never quite as in control as you think. A ...more

Fun, but a bit light on plot and the ending was just... meh. Enjoyed the art a lot, and the main characters as well. A mixed bag. Feels aimed at the tween crowd.

A great YA dystopian debut novel, I found this engaging and very realistic, with characters that felt fully fleshed, and good dialogue. Easy to imagine the settings, and the ending rang true. Recommended.

An entertaining slice of life from a then-20-something artist, I found this just the right amount of sweet. Illustrations are great, and it's an interesting time capsule of what life was like for a young artist 25 years ago. Worth checking out. ...more

“I was reading the dictionary. I thought it was a poem about everything.”
― Steven Wright

I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library.
“I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library.”
― Jorge Luis Borges

Jarod K. Anderson
“It’s easy to look at the contours of a forest and feel a bone deep love for nature. It’s less easy to remember that the contours of your own body represent the exact same nature. The pathways of your mind. Your dreams, dark and strange as sprouts curling beneath a flat rock. Your regret, bitter as the citrus rot of old cut grass. It’s the same as the nature you make time to love. That you practice loving. The forest. The meadow. The sweeping arm of a galaxy. You are as natural as any postcard landscape and deserve the same love.”
― Jarod K. Anderson, Field Guide to the Haunted Forest

Paul Auster
“Libraries aren't in the real world, after all. They're places apart, sanctuaries of pure thought. In this way I can go on living on the moon for the rest of my life.”
