"I’m really liking this. O rush because I splurged and bought it instead of taking it out from the library. I’m going to try to stop reading reviews before I read something. I almost said no to this." May 23, 2026 08:12PM

Barbara Kingsolver
“There is no point treating a depressed person as though she were just feeling sad, saying, 'There now, hang on, you'll get over it.' Sadness is more or less like a head cold- with patience, it passes. Depression is like cancer.”
Barbara Kingsolver, The Bean Trees

Milan Kundera
“The Greek word for "return" is nostos. Algos means "suffering." So nostalgia is the suffering caused by an unappeased yearning to return.”
Milan Kundera, Ignorance

John Boyne
“Perhaps it would be a good idea if everyone just stopped writing for a couple of years and allowed readers to catch up.”
John Boyne, A Ladder to the Sky

Tom McCarthy
“People need foundation myths.”
Tom McCarthy, Satin Island

Mary Doria Russell
“Have you ever thought about a Twelve Step program for people who talk too much? You could call it On and On Anon.”
Mary Doria Russell, The Sparrow
