Bruce Roderick Bruce Roderick said: " Each of the several times I've gone back to re-read Wonder Boys I've taken something different from it. While I still remain in awe of Chabon's magnificent prose and expansive vocabulary its still the protagonist that keeps me coming back for more.

Woody Allen
“Life doesn't imitate art, it imitates bad television.”
Woody Allen

Christopher Hitchens
“Literature, not scripture, sustains the mind and—since there is no other metaphor—also the soul.”
Christopher Hitchens

John  Williams
“In his forty-third year William Stoner learned what others, much younger, had learned before him: that the person one loves at first is not the person one loves at last, and that love is not an end but a process through which one person attempts to know another.”
John Williams, Stoner

Christopher Hitchens
“[E]xceptional claims demand exceptional evidence.”
Christopher Hitchens, God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything

Christopher Hitchens
“I suppose that one reason I have always detested religion is its sly tendency to insinuate the idea that the universe is designed with 'you' in mind or, even worse, that there is a divine plan into which one fits whether one knows it or not. This kind of modesty is too arrogant for me.”
Christopher Hitchens, Hitch 22: A Memoir
