This may be the best book I'm never going to read again.

Wait. I don't know. MAYBE I will read it again. It was amazing.

But it utterly decimated me in a way books don't, usually. I was in torrents of tears not only during the entire last...third?...o...more

Much better than the first book - I feel like the author really hit her stride here. The expository paragraphs that seemed like summaries of action we hadn't seen were basically gone, and that's a good thing. The only thing that seemed telegraphed (a...more

Mind Games was fun. I loved the premise, and the use of hypochondria as a superpower-of-sorts was inspired. The book was relatively fast-paced, but it managed it by sort of synopsizing a lot of the off-screen character development, which was disappoi...more

Maureen Johnson may as well have done a random sweep of things that are relevant to my interests and turned them into a book. London + Jack the Ripper + ghosts + snark + CCTV? YES PLS.

The story is instantly engaging and the main character is gutsy an...more

Robert A. Heinlein

Robert A. Heinlein

Harlan Ellison
“The two most common elements in the universe are Hydrogen and stupidity.”
Harlan Ellison

Margaret Atwood
“Stupidity is the same as evil if you judge by the results.”
Margaret Atwood, Surfacing

Jeanette Winterson
“There are many forms of love and affection, some people can spend their whole lives together without knowing each other's names. Naming is a difficult and time-consuming process; it concerns essences, and it means power. But on the wild nights who can call you home? Only the one who knows your name.”
Jeanette Winterson, Oranges are Not the Only Fruit
