"Preparing for some end of year fun reading with my seniors. So far, I'm not sure if I'm in the mood for the random creepiness of these stories, though. I'm still considering Sherlock Holmes as an option." — May 22, 2014 07:20AM

""His mind went blank except for some business concerning the pathos of the word satchel. It is possible for the mind to go blank in a tactic of evasion or suppression, the reaction to a menace so impending, a tailored man with a suitcase bomb, that there is no blessing to be found in the most resourceful though, no time for an eddy of sensation, the natural rush that might accompany danger."" — Dec 21, 2012 08:09AM

"Is it just my bad memory or is it strange that Katniss doesn't seem to spend much time thinking about the ethical dilemma she'll face when she meets the other tributes on the field -- as in, whether she can or will kill to survive...? I would have thought that would be the main conflict of this book." — Jun 29, 2012 07:26AM

“...I believe that you are sincere and good at heart. If you do not attain happiness, always remember that you are on the right road, and try not to leave it. Above all, avoid falsehood, every kind of falsehood, especially falseness to yourself. Watch over your own deceitfulness and look into it every hour, every minute. Avoid being scornful, both to others and to yourself. What seems to you bad within you will grow purer from the very fact of your observing it in yourself. Avoid fear, too, though fear is only the consequence of every sort of falsehood. Never be frightened at your own faint-heartedness in attaining love.”
