"The first rule about fight club is you don't talk about fight club"

Guess I will not be able to review this book...

I love that, Matt. I never read the book, but I remember the movie, and that is the line I associate with it the most.

Dang, I was looking forward to your review , :P

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Good one, Matt.

Here's a quote from by Jessica Park. Lots of awesome quotes in this book.

“Mom, I have to go. I think this Matt character is here."
"Are you sure it's him?"
Julie peered into the car as the window lowered. "I see a maniacal-looking guy with brightly-colored candy in one hand, and he's waving a sickle in the other. Oh! He's beckoning me to the car. This must be my ride.”

OH man, D.G., if that were my daughter I am not sure I would let her get in the car, that is for sure. I am really wondering what type of guy this person is.....

Hahahahahaha, Lynn! He's super awesome.

This thread needs a star(*). I almost missed it because it had slipped below several older ones.

from The Marriage Plot, p. 46:

It was then that Madeleine made a big mistake. Thing were going so well with Leonard, the mood was so promising -- even the weather lending a hand because, after they finished their food and left the diner, walking back to campus, a March drizzle forced them to share Madeline's collapsible umbrella -- that a feeling came over her like those she'd had as a girl when treated to a pastry or a dessert, a happiness so fraught by an awareness of its brevity that she took the tiniest bites, making the cream puff or eclair last as long as possible. In this same way, instead of seeing where the afternoon led, Madeleine decided to check its progress, to save some for alter, and she told Leonard she had to go home and study.
