Nophoto-f-50x66 Alyssa read and liked Alix's review of The Mango Season:

"I enjoyed the book, but it read like a melodrama. I would put this on your to-read list if you enjoy a good story and have any parental (i.e., my family runs my life) issues. I could relate to the protagonist! "

Alyssa's favorite quotes

"Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend. "
Albert Camus

1655
"Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect."
Mark Twain

"Talent hits a target no one else can hit; Genius hits a target no one else can see."
Arthur Schopenhauer

1655
"Censorship is telling a man he can't have a steak just because a baby can't chew it."
Mark Twain

"I was on a bus once, it was in the middle of the night, and I had a box of crackers and a can of Easy Cheese. It was dark, and it was a surprise how much cheese I had applied on each cracker. That's why they should have a glow-in-the-dark version of Easy Cheese. It's not like the product has any integrity to begin with. If you buy a room-temperature cheese that you squeeze out of a can, you probably won't get mad because it glows in the dark too."
— Mitch Hedberg
