"Even on the first couple of pages I could sense that this book has that magic “Oh wow, this is great and I have no idea why.” The narrative progresses in such a smooth, organic and psychologically convincing way. I’m getting into that territory where I forget to eat because I want to keep reading." May 26, 2026 02:51AM

"One of my greatest passions, besides literature, is to tinker in private with agricultural machinery. I am particularly fond of John Deere tractors. But lately old Yamaha machines from the 90s have caught my deeper interest. Just kidding… I have no idea why I read this book." Mar 10, 2026 05:20AM

Ted Chiang
“The universe began as an enormous breath being held. Who knows why, but whatever the reason, I'm glad it did, because I owe my existence to that fact. All my desires and ruminations are no more and no less than eddy currents generated by the gradual exhalation of our universe. And until this great exhalation is finished, my thoughts live on.”
Ted Chiang, Exhalation

Sally Rooney
“No one can be independent of other people completely, so why not give up the attempt, she thought, go running in the other direction, depend on people for everything, allow them to depend on you, why not.”
Sally Rooney, Normal People

Kazuo Ishiguro
“What is the point of worrying oneself too much about what one could or could not have done to control the course one's life took? Surely it is enough that the likes of you and I at least try to make our small contribution count for something true and worthy. And if some of us are prepared to sacrifice much in life in order to pursue such aspirations, surely that in itself, whatever the outcome, cause for pride and contentment.”
Kazuo Ishiguro, The Remains of the Day

“I don't want to care. If I care about things, it'll just be worse, it'll just be another thing to worry about. It's less painful if I don't care.”
Bret Easton Ellis, Less Than Zero

Ted Chiang
“Even if a universes's life span is calculable , the variety of life that is generated within it is not. The buildings we have erected, the art and music and verse we have composed, the very lives we've led: none of them could have been predicted, because none of them was inevitable... The fact that it {universe} spawned such plenitude is a miracle...”
Ted Chiang, Exhalation
