"Nothing like a good boarding school novel . . . and I love when we actually get to go to lessons with the characters. Shut up I like school. Also, it's fascinating in this one, because the main character goes to a school of magic but isn't magical. It's a magic story from the perspective of a muggle." — 8 hours, 26 min ago

| This doesn't sound like something I would necessarily pick up on my own, but I will read anything Rainbow Rowell writes, regardless of topic or genre. The list of authors I will do that for is not very large. I have lots of favorite books by authors...more | |

“To acquire the habit of reading is to construct for yourself a refuge from almost all the miseries of life.”

“Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault. Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated. For these there is hope. They are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only Beauty. There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That is all.”

“People aren't either wicked or noble. They're like chef's salads, with good things and bad things chopped and mixed together in a vinaigrette of confusion and conflict.”
