Jasun Ether
“It doesn't matter how fat I get, my online avatars are unchanging.”
Jasun Ether, The Beasts of Success

Laurie Halse Anderson
“I picked up one of the books and flipped through it. Don't get me wrong, I like reading. But some books should come with warning labels: Caution: contains characters and plots guaranteed to induce sleepiness. Do not attempt to operate heavy machinery after ingesting more than one chapter. Has been known to cause blindness, seizures and a terminal loathing of literature. Should only be taken under the supervision of a highly trained English teacher. Preferably one who grades on the curve.”
Laurie Halse Anderson, Twisted
