Book cover for The Personal Librarian
Each book in the library contained a world of personalities and stories and history. We shared an insatiable curiosity. The deeper we each read, the more we would understand about this world we live in, and the more questions we had.

Lev Grossman
“That was one thing about books: once you read them they couldn’t be unread.”
Lev Grossman, The Magician's Land

Matt Forbeck
“A group of adventurers is known as a "party," and not just because they like to celebrate their success together in the end. Your party should be as close to you as your family--assuming your family can cast spells, kill monsters, and bring you back from the edge of death.”
Matt Forbeck, Dungeonology

Michel Faber
“The word troubled her, though. ‘Indispensable.’ It was a word people tended to resort to when dispensability was in the air.”
Michel Faber, Under the Skin

Simon Doonan
“Knowing who you really are and dressing the part -- with an air of amused recklessness -- is life affirming for you and life enhancing for other people.”
Simon Doonan, Eccentric Glamour: Creating an Insanely More Fabulous You

Douglas Coupland
“Sometimes you accidentally input an extra digit into the year: i.e, 19993 and you add 18,000 years on to *now*, and you realize that the year 19993 will one day exist and that time is a scary thing, indeed.”
Douglas Coupland, Microserfs
