"Somehow I am still 2 books ahead of schedule on my reading challenge, although I've barely been reading - in part due to unexpected travel, to evil Netflix for releasing OITNB, etc. The other problem, though, is this novel. My GOD it's long. I'm not afraid of long books - some of them I never want to end, really. This novel spends 15-20 pages getting one basic concept or thought out, though, and it becomes tiresome." — Jun 22, 2015 02:43AM

“—if a painting really works down in your heart and changes the way you see, and think, and feel, you don’t think, ‘oh, I love this picture because it’s universal.’ ‘I love this painting because it speaks to all mankind.’ That’s not the reason anyone loves a piece of art. It’s a secret whisper from an alleyway. Psst, you. Hey kid. Yes you.”

“EVERY NIGHT BEFORE I went to sleep, I would conjure the image of the actor George Burns in my head and ask him for the things I wanted most in life: new dolls, a best friend, and for my house to burn down. Religion was not a solidly formed concept for me, but I had seen a movie about God once; he looked like George Burns and was in the habit of causing trouble and granting wishes. I accepted him wholeheartedly as my savior.”

“Is there a Bible chapter, I wonder? Futilities, verse four, paragraph two?'
'There will be.'
'And will I write it?'
'I have faith in you, Father!'
'Reverend!' he cried.
'Reverend,' I said.”
