Another good one here.Soaking it up like dry cracked sponge after a year long hiatus from reading.FEED ME!

upheaval in my personal life has kept me from reading at all.Trying to get back in tune with my books.

"If you wait until you need a weapon,"Tan replied,"It is often too late to acquire one."

She had broad cheekbones and black,black eyes.Lilia thought she might stumble into them."And some of us believe in the freedom of the individual over the tyranny of the common good."

“Was there any human urge more pitiful-or more intense- than wanting another chance at something?”

“Everything changes, today's tears are tomorrow's absurdities, after all.”

This is moving very slowly for me.It is very good.Very thick.heavy book with teensy little words packed onto each page.I am enjoying it in moderation.

He laughed,but it was not an easy laugh."You would make a good Blue."
"No."she said."To become a Blue a person needs a certain sense of moral superiority;and I refuse to pass judgement on my fellow sinners."

A simple passage,that explains completely why I cannot abide police,or understand the compulsion to regulate your neighbors.

Excellent book.I am glad to have discovered a new author.

This is one of the reasons I keep reading.Through all the fluff,the "meh" books.Suffering through stilted dialogue,shallow charachters,weak plotting.This Gem is the reason why.This is fantastic work.A true piece of art.I cant stop reading it.Simply put,I love this novel.An instant classic for my favorites shelf.I have no idea how I did not find this 20 years ago.

Great characterization.I really like the idea of Maddie talking to Jack through his cluttered desk.enjoying.

eh.matsa matsa.killing time waiting to find the next world veiw changing masterpiece.This isnt it.but its not bad.

Slow going on this one.The book is great,but the summer is here and i am sooo busy,Hard to find the time to read as i would like.

300 pages in,and erikson delivers again.

Getting better.Still kind of slogging through it looking forward to what i will read next.sorry guys,this is good,but not great.

this is finally starting to roll along,its taken me a week to get this far.It has been pretty slow going so far.

Very good. I can see why it's a classic. There were parts I had to reread because they were just so good.I will still give only 4 stars ,as I reserve the 5 star rating for things that I read over and over.this was great,but once is enough.

"Liars will lie,and continue to d o so,even beyond being caught out.They will lie,and in time,such liars will convince themselves,will in all self-righteousness divest the liars of culpability.Until comes a time when one final lie is voiced,the one that can only be answered by rage,by cold murder,and on that day,blood shall rain down every wall of this vaunted,weaning society."

Another good one.

"compassion existed when and only whenone could step outside oneself,to suddenly see the bars from inside the cage."
