Did some room cleaning and totally forgot I have this book! Been down with flu for 2 days and this has been keeping me company. Halfway done already and I'm liking the inspirational ideas this book has to offer.

On to the last in this series..

"I didn't know why I was going to cry, but I knew that if anybody spoke to me or looked at me too closely the tears would fly out of my eyes and the sobs would fly out of my throat and I'd cry for a week."

Is it better to shout and thereby hasten the end, or to keep silent and gain thereby a slower death?

...Vertigo is something other than the fear of falling. It is the voice of the emptiness below us which tempts and lures us, it is the desire to fall, against which, terrified, we defend ourselves.

Everyone you trust, everyone you think you can count on, will eventually disappoint you. When left to their own devices, people lie and keep secrets and change and disappear, some behind a different face or personality, some behind a dense, early morning fog, beyond a cliff.

"I want to believe there is a somebody out there just for me. I want to believe that I exist to be there for that somebody."

The tools of this era—phones, computers—enabled people to move at a blurring pace. Yet despite all they accomplished, they were never at peace.

Everyone in this tale has a rock-solid hamartia: hers, that she is so sick; yours, that you are so well. Were she better or you sicker, then the stars would not be so terribly crossed, but it is the nature of stars to cross, and never was Shakespeare more wrong than when he had Cassius note, “The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars / But in ourselves.”

Right from page 1, I knew this is gonna be heartbreaking.

"We made the iPod for ourselves, and when you’re doing something for yourself, or your best friend or family, you’re not going to cheese out. If you don’t love something, you’re not going to go the extra mile, work the extra weekend, challenge the status quo as much."

few pages left ;)

Could've finished this in one sitting... then work happened. ;)

Time to catch up on my reading!

I've just started but this is really funny!
