“Is that a scanning electron microscope? “This’ll do, pig, this’ll do,” I murmur.
“Excuse me?”
“Sorry. Film reference, wasn’t meant as an insult.”

“I have for a long time felt that our society is becoming more and more fractured and divisive and that you could go a whole day without really talking to another person. If you give people a good book to talk about, you can build a community out of a diverse group. A common language grows out of it.”
