Pufff... For some reason, I got bored and didn't finish the book.. I rated it 3 stars (Very Generous ;P) And.. Euh.. Okay that's it :D
:) I actually thought you'd like it more than i did. I clearly have no idea how to predict other people's tastes :(

“Who knows how fast a second-guess can travel? Who has ever measured the exact speed of regret?”
“Even beauty, in abundance, turns creepy.”
“I guess it never is what you worry over that comes to pass in the end. The real catastrophes are always different—unimagined, unprepared for, unknown.”
“Sometimes the saddest stories take the fewest words.”
“How much sweeter life would be if it all happened in reverse, if, after decades of disappointments, you finally arrived at an age when you had conceded nothing, when everything was possible.”
“I'm always on the lookout for proof that what is done can sometimes be undone.”
“Later, I would come to think of those first days as the time when we learned as a species that we had worried over the wrong things: the hole in the ozone layer, the melting of the ice caps, West Nile and swine flu and killer bees. But I guess it never is what you worry over that comes to pass in the end. The real catastrophes are always different—unimagined, unprepared for, unknown.”
“Some say that love is the sweetest feeling, the purest form of joy, but that isn't right. It's not love--it's relief.”
“The only thing you have to do in this life is die," said Mrs. Pinsky..."everything else is a choice.”
“We were, on that day, no different from the ancients, terrified of our own big sky.”
