"This will be the last Bruno book for me. It could be because it’s written by an English author, but I can’t detect an ounce of French atmosphere. It’s just an English story set in France with the nouns all changed. And I don’t understand why ‘pompieres’ is italicised to describe the firemen! It’s flat, boring, and misogynistic" Jan 19, 2022 02:43AM

Margaret Atwood
“Water does not resist. Water flows. When you plunge your hand into it, all you feel is a caress. Water is not a solid wall, it will not stop you. But water always goes where it wants to go, and nothing in the end can stand against it. Water is patient. Dripping water wears away a stone. Remember that, my child. Remember you are half water. If you can't go through an obstacle, go around it. Water does.”
Margaret Atwood, The Penelopiad

Diana Gabaldon
“For where all love is, the speaking is unnecessary”
Diana Gabaldon, Outlander

Charlaine Harris
“Here’s to books, the cheapest vacation you can buy.”
Charlaine Harris

Marcus Tullius Cicero
“A room without books is like a body without a soul.”
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Hilary Mantel
“If you get stuck, get away from your desk. Take a walk, take a bath, go to sleep, make a pie, draw, listen to ­music, meditate, exercise; whatever you do, don't just stick there scowling at the problem. But don't make telephone calls or go to a party; if you do, other people's words will pour in where your lost words should be. Open a gap for them, create a space. Be patient.”
Hilary Mantel
