One day I'll be an eighty-year-old woman, [she] thinks. And I’ll still be sad, missing this nineteen-year-old boy.

Nearly there now!!

Anyway I’ve gotten somewhat used to it. The visions don’t frighten me anymore. I can usually tell what’s real and what isn’t.

Moving along nicely! I hope to finish on the porch watching the trick or treaters.

I don't think people should live by the ocean. It's too big to understand.

Well that's precisely why I want to live near the ocean!

It's fun to feel fear, Harper said. Is it more fun to make others feel it?

Can I read this whole thing in one day? Let's see! Happy Halloween!

[Tesla] praised Gordon’s insight and invited him to join him at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia.

My city always showing up in the most unexpected places.

I don't care if we've been friends 10+ years on here: if you change your profile pic to AI slop your ass is gone so fast. You cannot be serious! Even on the book website!

Good things happen slowly. But that doesn't mean they don't happen at all.

Instantly hooked by this one.

As a child, she'd thought lies would send her to Hell. Now she knew the truth could do far worse.

But everyone dies over some shit. Might as well make that shit something worth dying for.

Later, Tasha Washington would wonder why she hadn't pressed Johnny about what sound he thought he'd heard behind his grandmother's lodge.

Oh gods, this is gonna get bad, isn’t it?

’What's happening tonight?’
‘Hallowe’en of course,' Wendell said. ‘It happens every night.'

What the actual fuck is going on? 😭 Truly a bizarre book.

It was a relief to finally be out of that house. It was like finally being able to breathe after having her head held beneath water for a very long time.

'You don't have to forego every pleasure in life for ethical reasons. Honestly, it's kind of rude, champ.'

Unfortunately Dad is correct here.

He's looking at her, but she has a terrible sense he doesn't see her. It hurts being mistaken for a human when she is so much more.

The elderly woman, with bloodshot eyes and broken capillaries in her nose, says, ‘If you're gonna do meth, don't pluck your eyebrows after. Word of advice from the old to the young. If you can't die old, die beautiful.’

Perhaps we should do to all the Nazis what they used to do to witches in Scotland.
Torture first.

Well, yes!

’A day that should be spent considering science—not poetry. l am a poet and as a whole we are a suspicious people. What we all need to look at is the antimatter.’
‘Bill, d'ye want a cup ay tea with just sugar in it this time, nae LSD, maybe milk and two?’

😂

This life is not all there is. Our actions don't end here. I have always known that to be true. I rise up out of my body. Turn to see it laying on the floor behind me.

The building plays us like an orchestra.
There is something deeply wrong with her tuning.
I have not figured out why yet.

The bear did not visit me tonight and I think it's because you are on the way. Sorry to sound so superstitious but the world is not as scientific as they try to make you believe.

You're probably not old enough to start forgetting your life but I am. I've been in love with whole people whose names I can't even recall.

’Yes. Write this down. You're learning two
things today, and this is the first. Humans can forget anything. It’s okay to forget some things, because we are mortal and finite. But some things we have to remember. It's important that we remember. Write something that will make you remember.’

’They gave us all an hour to try it out ourselves, try to figure out the trick. But there isn't a trick. It's just…an error in the universe. A gap.’

Giving this a try for the Besties Book Club!

’I then recollected you gave a breakfast this morning, and here I am. I am hungry, feed me; I am bored, amuse me.’

Debray is such a diva.

'And now,' said the unknown, 'farwell kindness, humanity and gratitude! Farewell to all the feelings that expand the heart! I have been heaven's substitute to recompense the good--now the god of vengeance yields to me his power to punish the wicked!'

No you're crying over The Count of Monte Cristo at 8AM. 😭 Let's do this shit Dantes!

Then he descended; a smile on his lips, and murmuring that last word of human philosophy, “Perhaps!”

This is seriously so entertaining.

'You, who are in power, have only the means that money produces; we, who are in expectation, have those which devotion prompts.'

Dad kinda ate him up with this one.

’My dear fellow,’ replied Danglars, ‘you are three parts drunk, finish the bottle, and you will be completely so. Drink, then, and do not meddle with what we are discussing, for that requires all one's wit and cool judgment.’

Oh so she’s funny!

Fully gooped, gagged, and flabbergasted. This is so much fucking fun.
