I can appreciate this book for it is well written and very entertaining. I am sure it will be a hit. I am just not a fan of these cynical and feminist types of storylines.

Ragnar Jónasson is one of my favourite writers, but I did not particularly love this book. It moved very slowly and consisted mostly of the main character's inner thoughts. And then in the end it was all wrapped so quickly and almost too conveniently ...more

I did not love this book. Although I again enioyed Catherine Ryan Howard's intellect and composition of events (this is my 2nd book of hers) this book felt a bit disjointed, as if it was made up of many good ideas that doesn't really gel into one in ...more

Oscar Wilde
“I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.”
Oscar Wilde, The Happy Prince and Other Stories

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

Steve Jobs
“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
Steve Jobs

“somer swel soos ’n ryp lemoen
in my palms
en kolk die lug in
die geur van sitrus en son
sypel deur my vel
word ’n roering rondom my

my rug teken ruigtes blare
van bekendes en ontdekkings
waar ek vanoggend nog was
en my voete stamp nie meer nie
my oë soek nie meer nie -
nie na sekerheid of son of saad nie

die seisoen omhels my
streel strepe son oor my wange
soos my siel my
liggaam vol maak met
nektar en sappe
en gedagtes”
Margriet Strydom, Meisie: 'n Digbundel

“my spore loop my ver vooruit
wyk af van al my kaarte
lei my na stille waters deur
dorings en draad en dorsland
en bring my op jou grond
waar die son teen die plaashek hurk -
hy wag vir my skadu en my stem
soos die aarde wag vir reën

en nou kan ek tot vrede kom
jou herkoms was my heimwee”
Margriet Strydom, Meisie: 'n Digbundel
