Thomas's Recent Updates

The Infernal Devices by Cassandra Clare
" Clockwork Angel: Other than the enormous flaw that the cast is identical to that of The Mortal Instruments, this was a great start to the series. I loved the way that Clare handled 19th century London, the writing was beautiful without the similes... "

Hunger by Michael  Grant
" This is the best piece of YA commercial lit I've ever read.

Books filled with action like this, ones that are obviously marketed exclusively towards reluctant readers and boys (publishing companies typically consider the two to be one and the same)... "

Where You Are by J.H. Trumble
" I kind of struggled between giving this a 3 star rating or a 4 star rating. In the end I decided for a 3 star, but maybe I'll revisit this later. I really enjoyed this book. It was well written and I loved the characters. I also really liked the w... "

Requiem by Lauren Oliver
Requiem (Delirium, #3)
by Lauren Oliver (Goodreads Author)
read in May, 2013
3.5 stars.

Every book has its beginnings. A fresh protagonist to fall in love with, a new world to explore, a story to watch play out. By the end of the book, it's time to say goodbye to what we've come to know - not only the settings that have taken...more

Hamlet by William Shakespeare
Hamlet
by William Shakespeare
read in April, 2013
Hamlet is one of those books people can analyze, discuss, and philosophize about. On an intellectual level, like a lot of literature, it possesses great merit. It's much more enriching than the "oh, that b*stard killed my father, I will now seek my r...more

Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare
Clockwork Princess (The Infernal Devices, #3)
by Cassandra Clare (Goodreads Author)
read in April, 2013
In 23 days I'll be 18. That's part of the reason why I'm giving Clockwork Princess five stars, even if it may not deserve all of them.

There were definite imperfections within the finale of the Infernal Devices trilogy. Some of the plot twists could h...more

Socrates
“There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance.”
Socrates

James Baldwin
“If the concept of God has any validity or any use, it can only be to make us larger, freer, and more loving. If God cannot do this, then it is time we got rid of Him.”
James Baldwin, The Fire Next Time

“Bad things do happen; how I respond to them defines my character and the quality of my life. I can choose to sit in perpetual sadness, immobilized by the gravity of my loss, or I can choose to rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift I have – life itself.”
Walter Anderson

John Steinbeck
“Literature is as old as speech. It grew out of human need for it and it has not changed except to become more needed. The skalds, the bards, the writers are not separate and exclusive. From the beginning, their functions, their duties, and their responsibilities have been decreed by our species... the writer is delegated to declare and to celebrate man's proven capacity for greatness of heart and spirit - for gallantry in defeat, for courage, compassion and love. In the endless war against weakness and despair, these are the bright rally flags of hope and of emulation. I hold that a writer who does not passionately believe in the perfectibility of man has no dedication nor any membership in literature.”
John Steinbeck
