Courtney Courtney said: " This book improves upon rereading, because the misunderstandings and subtle notes and cues make much more sense. I also HIGHLY recommend supplementing your reading by watching Emma Approved on YouTube; utter delight! "

Rick Riordan
“Perhaps I simply didn't think about it too much. I've found that thinking often interferes with doing. It's one of those lessons that gods learn early in their careers.”
Rick Riordan, The Hidden Oracle

John Steinbeck
“You're bound to get ideas if you go thinking' about stuff.”
John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath

Adania Shibli
“But despite this, there are some who consider this way of seeing, which is to say, focusing intently on the most minor details, like dust on the desk or fly shit on a painting, as the only way to arrive at the truth and definitive proof of its existence. There are even art historians who make these same claims. All right, they don’t exactly claim to notice fly shit on a painting, but they do make a point of focusing on the least significant details, not the most significant ones, in order to determine, for example, whether a painting is an original or a copy. According to them, when art forgers imitate a painting, they pay attention to major, significant details, like the roundness of the subject’s face or the position of the body, and these they reproduce precisely. However, they rarely pay attention to little details like earlobes or fingernails or toenails, which is why they ultimately fail to perfectly replicate the painting.”
Adania Shibli, Minor Detail

Andrew Sean Greer
“He kisses—how do I explain it? Like someone in love. Like he has nothing to lose. Like someone who has just learned a foreign language and can use only the present tense and only the second person. Only now, only you. There are some men who have never been kissed like that. There are some men who discover, after Arthur Less, that they never will be again.”
Andrew Sean Greer, Less

Julia Pierpont
“The best use of family was having it in front of other people.”
