"Sherry Thomas is the shit! Great balance of manipulative characters who engage in lots of game-playing without straying into the realm of true brutality. Good flirtation and the whole Anne Boleyn-Henry VIII dynamic with the lust and refusal to act on it. Really like this a lot." — Dec 31, 2025 12:12AM

“Is it real?” I asked her.
She shrugged. “All pain is real.”

“His life was a constant war with insensate objects that fell apart, or attacked him, or refused to function, or viciously got themselves lost as soon as they entered the sphere of his existence.”

“I found myself back in the sepulchral city resenting the sight of people hurrying through the streets to filch a little money from each other, to devour their infamous cookery, to gulp their unwholesome beer, to dream their insignificant and silly dreams. They trespassed upon my thoughts. They were intruders whose knowledge of life was to me an irritating pretence, because I felt so sure they could not possibly know the things I knew. Their bearing, which was simply the bearing of commonplace individuals going about their business in the assurance of perfect safety, was offensive to me like the outrageous flauntings of folly in the faces of a danger it is unable to comprehend.”
