"This book started out a little slow (which is ironic since it throws you right into the action) and in a style I wasn't expecting, but once I got used to it I really started enjoying it. This book is great so far!" Sep 28, 2014 08:18PM

"On paper, I'm not far. But between reading and flipping to the End Notes every few paragraphs, this takes a while. But I feel like I'm zooming through it because it's SUCH a fantastic read! Easily one of the best Civil War history books I've read to date so far." Dec 29, 2013 08:10PM

"Ugh. UGH. Why can't Achilles and Patroclus just go back and live with Chiron forever? Why do they have to go to Troy? UGH. *flips a table* I'm so angry and my emotions are a mess over this." Jan 23, 2015 11:12PM

“For under scrutiny you will find that even an open book can have a surprise scribbled in its margins.”
Violet Haberdasher, The Secret Prince

Stephen Fry
“Books are no more threatened by Kindle than stairs by elevators.”
Stephen Fry

“A wife who loses a husband is called a widow. A husband who loses a wife is called a widower. A child who loses his parents is called an orphan. There is no word for a parent who loses a child. That’s how awful the loss is.”
Jay Neugeboren, An Orphan's Tale

J. Michael Straczynski
“Doesn't matter what the press says. Doesn't matter what the politicians or the mobs say. Doesn't matter if the whole country decides that something wrong is something right.

This nation was founded on one principle above all else: The requirement that we stand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or the consequences. When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world -- "No, YOU move.”
J. Michael Straczynski, The Amazing Spider-Man: Civil War

Isaac Marion
“...and we'll see what happens when we say Yes while this rigor mortis world screams No.”
Isaac Marion, Warm Bodies
