"This may well be a challenge to listen to on my bike, the way I usually consume audio books, as the language is too dated and the turns of phrase too intricate for the mind (at least mine) not to get distracted by the slightest traffic mishap or random thought. I managed to get through the introduction alright, but once I got to the book proper I had to restart several times. Well, maybe it's more of a shower book." Feb 07, 2026 04:10AM

James Joyce
“He felt above him the vast indifferent dome and the calm processes of the heavenly bodies; and the earth beneath him, the earth that had borne him, had taken him to her breast.”
James Joyce, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man

Helen DeWitt
“When you play a piece of music there are so many different ways you could play it. You keep asking yourself what if. You try this and you say what if and you try that. When you buy a CD you get one answer to the question. You never get the what if.”
Helen DeWitt, The Last Samurai

“He liked I expect the idea of effortless excellence, and being unable to combine the two has settled for the one he could be sure of...”
Helen DeWitt, The Last Samurai

Frances Hodgson Burnett
“The mere fact of her sufferings and adventures made her a priceless possession.”
Frances Hodgson Burnett

Helen DeWitt
“It’s not against Lottery regulations to lose, obviously - somebody’s got to - but it’s against the Rules to be seen to lose. It’s against the Rules to be seen to win. It’s not just that you break the Rules by sitting there. It’s that you put everyone else in the position of ostentatious Rulebreakers, manoeuvred into flashing their luck just by walking to work.”
Helen DeWitt, Your Name Here
