"accidentally took a break from this one for a while (most of my breaks from books are accidental); but I wish I hadn't because it continues to be excellent. i want to share these stories with so many people, and i love feeling excited and absorbed in all these little snapshots of other people's lives." — May 09, 2017 05:45PM

"THIS IS GARBAGE but i didn't listen to 6 other awful books just to stop now (book 1 wasn't atrocious and 2/3 were tolerable but this is just straight - and i do mean AGGRESSIVELY STRAIGHT - up bad).
this author has some incredibly toxic ideas about relationships." — Apr 12, 2021 11:51AM

“They never say to you, 'What does his voice sound like? What games does he love best? Does he collect butterflies?' Instead, they demand 'How old is he? How many brothers has he? How much money does his father make?' Only from these figures do they think they have learned anything about him.”

“I have lived a great deal among grown-ups. I have seen them intimately, close at hand. And that hasn’t much improved my opinion of them.”

“Mike nodded. A sombre nod. The nod Napoleon might have given if somebody had met him in 1812 and said, "So, you're back from Moscow, eh?”

“You would be miserable if you had to go through life with a human doormat with 'Welcome' written on him. You want some one made of sterner stuff. You want, as it were, a sparring-partner, some one with whom you can quarrel happily with the certain knowledge that he will not curl up in a ball for you to kick, but will be there with the return wallop.”

“Saying 'I notice you're a nerd' is like saying, 'Hey, I notice that you'd rather be intelligent than be stupid, that you'd rather be thoughtful than be vapid, that you believe that there are things that matter more than the arrest record of Lindsay Lohan. Why is that?' In fact, it seems to me that most contemporary insults are pretty lame. Even 'lame' is kind of lame. Saying 'You're lame' is like saying 'You walk with a limp.' Yeah, whatever, so does 50 Cent, and he's done all right for himself.”
