My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
I'm unfamiliar with the writing of Michael Reeves, but I've read quite a bit of Gaiman's work and I can tell you that this doesn't feel like a Gaiman book. I mean, there are certain elements, turns of phrase or certain choices made in how the story i...more

Look at the Birdie by Kurt Vonnegut
My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
Vonnegut's mastery of the written word is to be admired and respected, a literary goal for all writers to aspire to. There's something so different about his short works versus his novels, as he seems to be much more comfortable in short stories. In ...more

Hunter S. Thompson
“With the palms zipping past and the big sun burning down on the road ahead, I had a flash of something I hadn’t felt since my first months in Europe - a mixture of ignorance and a loose, “what the hell” kind of confidence that comes on a man when the wind picks up and he begins to move in a hard straight line toward an unknown horizon.”
Hunter S. Thompson, The Rum Diary

Garth Nix
“Does the walker choose the path or the path choose the walker?”
Garth Nix, Lirael

Wil Wheaton
“Wil Wheaton Says: Don't be a dick.”
Wil Wheaton

John Scalzi
“Here's a quick rule of thumb: Don't annoy science fiction writers. These are people who destroy entire planets before lunch. Think of what they'll do to you.”
John Scalzi
