Just started with my first few pages and i already know it would be one of my favorite books

If this book is to be condensed into one sentence, it would be: “Not today Satan” lol

I’m suffering… so much. Given the interesting premise, this book is so freaking boring…

“Watch your thoughts, for they become words. Watch your words, for they become actions. Watch your actions, for they become habits. Watch your habits, for they become your characters. And watch your character, for it becomes your destiny. What we think, we become.”

Strong female characters and straw feminists? Fucking hilarious

One look at this book and I already know that I would love it. It reminds me of someone I know who loves road trips, hiking, and national parks. What adventures we had. If I could, I’d go again in a heartbeat.

Jeff Hawk would love this book!

“So if you and your husband ever get in an argument, move to the living room or bathroom. He can’t kill you with a Q-tip. He can throw the remote at you, but you won’t die.” Amazing wisdom

I LOVE books with pictures!!!

In my notebook, I write, “They are almost entirely undisgusted.” And later, “They are going to be really good nurses.” - fucking hell Rose lololol

“What was beautiful when whole is beautiful when broken too.”

“The truth that when we must endure, we can endure; that we can be good even when we cannot be happy; and that the sun rises no matter how dark the night.”

“In Mrs. Tien’s kitchen, I am given what will be the first of many biogas demonstrations. They generally proceed like this: switch on the biogas. Sniff. Express pleasure that it smells only faintly sulphuric. Light the gas. Express more pleasure. Switch on the light... Mrs. Tien seems genuinely excited to demonstrate her free gas, though I get the sense she’s done it before.”

“Magic,' said Odd, and he smiled, and thought, if magic means letting things do what they wanted to do, or be what they wanted to be...”

I love Neil Gaiman

I like this book.

Natural science is so fucking awesome

This guy use the term “mouth-watering” a lot, which is quite funny.

That’s it. I’m buying this book.

I’ve loved Kurlansky‘s work ever since Salt but after reading Cod, I pick up history book by other authors as well. I have to say, reading other author and then go back to Kurlansky really helps me appreciate him as an author and an intellectual. Boldly and confidently write about culture around the world with such depth and grace. I’d love to hang out with this guy.

While reading this book, something went off in my brain and suddenly I understand the core idea behind forecasting so I’m thankful for that.

While the book is about rain, the writing itself is quite dry. Put me to sleep several times but it could be amusing from time to time.

I think Chelsea has grown a bit. This book feels calmer and more filled with gratitude. I like it

I love Chelsea Handler for her outrageous humor and she’s kind of a hot mess. It’s revolting sometimes but it’s refreshing because it takes me out of my brain so I would go for her book for a disconnection of sort. This book feels different. It scares me a bit.

“This modern bird, which “eats like a fashion model but put on weight like a New York Giants defensive lineman”, is no dunghill fowl.”
I thought this is a book about chicken, why is it describing me, wtf???

About Harland Sanders: “He was a lawyer for a little while too, but had to stop practicing because he punched one of his clients. He also shot a man but got off because the other guy started it.”

Nice.

“To hell with what the can say.”
