Meghan Harvey liked Jessica Gottlieb's review of STFU, Parents: " Absolutely hysterical. I read it mostly in the stand at Little League and ended up passing it around for the other moms to read and enjoy. No really. She DID announce her pregnancy on Facebook... to her friends... and it surprised her husband. And... " Read more of this review »

Meghan Harvey liked a quote “My daughter is seven, and some of the other second-grade parents complain that their children don't read for pleasure. When I visit their homes, the children's rooms are crammed with expensive books, but the parent's rooms are empty. Those children do not see their parents reading, as I did every day of my childhood. By contrast, when I walk into an apartment with books on the shelves, books on the bedside tables, books on the floor, and books on the toilet tank, then I know what I would see if I opened the door that says 'PRIVATE--GROWNUPS KEEP OUT': a child sprawled on the bed, reading.” — Anne Fadiman like

Meghan Harvey liked Judith's review of World War Z: " The zombie genre just doesn't speak to me, so when a good friend recommended World War ZI was skeptical. Luckily I took the recommendation because this novel is an incredible read. More than a sheer zombie gore fest, World War Z is a brilliant st... " Read more of this review »

“Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me: I lift my lamp beside the golden door.”

“I think it's perfectly possible to explain how the universe came about without bringing God into it, but I don't know everything, and there may well be a God somewhere, hiding away. Actually, if he is keeping out of sight, it's because he's ashamed of his followers and all the cruelty and ignorance they're responsible for promoting in his name. If I were him, I'd want nothing to do with them.”
― Philip Pullman
