Sally said: " This book HURT ME.

I don’t even know how to review ‘The Wisdom of Crowds’ properly because all my major thoughts are spoilerific. Suffice to say, I’ve never felt more anxious, more distressed, more dismayed by any book in my entire life. This was hand ...more "

Sally’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for So You've Been Publicly Shamed: the hilarious and unnerving real-life exploration of being found out on social media

So You've Been Publicly Shamed: the hilarious and unnerving real-life exploration of being found out on social media by Jon Ronson

Sally’s Quotes

“There is neither happiness nor misery in the world; there is only the comparison of one state with another, nothing more. He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness. We must have felt what it is to die, Morrel, that we may appreciate the enjoyments of life.
" Live, then, and be happy, beloved children of my heart, and never forget, that until the day God will deign to reveal the future to man, all human wisdom is contained in these two words, 'Wait and Hope.”
― Alexandre Dumas
