Melissa Marr
“Life is too short to read books that I'm not enjoying.”
Melissa Marr

Haruki Murakami
“I go back to the reading room, where I sink down in the sofa and into the world of The Arabian Nights. Slowly, like a movie fadeout, the real world evaporates. I'm alone, inside the world of the story. My favourite feeling in the world.”
Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore
