Mary’s Notes & Highlights

Look What You Made Me Do by John Lanchester

3 highlights

I do remember being told that a death involved so much administration and paperwork that it was like running a small business. ‘Sadmin’, people call it. As for the specifics of that small business – all gone.

Mary’s Quotes

“The pursuit of knowing was freedom to me, the right to declare your own curiosities and follow them through all manner of books. I was made for the library, not the classroom. The classroom was a jail of other people’s interests. The library was open, unending, free. Slowly, I was discovering myself.”
― Ta-Nehisi Coates
