Dara’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for Lights Out (Into Darkness, #1)

Lights Out (Into Darkness, #1) by Navessa Allen

1 note & 4 highlights

On the one hand, this was the hottest thing that had ever happened to me. On the other, it was also the most fucked up.

“There are some foods some people just don’t like. I just don’t like movies. People tell me, don’t you care what they’ve done to your book? I tell them, they haven’t done anything to my book. It’s right there on the shelf.”
― James M. Cain

“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."

[Kung Fu Monkey -- Ephemera, blog post, March 19, 2009]”
― John Rogers
