“I love to read sir. I always have. But when I walk into a library or a bookshop, I get overwhelmed. I don't know where to start.
Start anywhere.
How do I know what's worth my time and what's a waste?

― J.R. Moehringer, Sutton

“I hate when people ask what a book is about. People who read for plot, people who suck out the story like the cream filling in an Oreo, should stick to comic strips and soap operas. . . .

“I don't know. Sometimes I try to say what's on my mind and it comes out sounding like I ate a dictionary and I'm shitting pages. Sorry”
