| I really should've known what I was getting into with this book, but a friend recommended it to me, and I don't generally bother reading jacket copy, because it's always wrong and stupid, so I got about fifty pages in and realized, oh god, this is a ...more | |

“It makes me so happy. To be at the beginning again, knowing almost nothing.... A door like this has cracked open five or six times since we got up on our hind legs. It's the best possible time of being alive, when almost everything you thought you knew is wrong.”
