"Still feeling meh about this. Odd, since Irving normally captures my attention more.

I am a big John Irving fan, but I have to admit I'm not getting this story so far."

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl

John Irving
“We don't always have a choice how we get to know one another. Sometimes, people fall into our lives cleanly--as if out of the sky, or as if there were a direct flight from Heaven to Earth--the same sudden way we lose people, who once seemed they would always be part of our lives”
John Irving, Last Night in Twisted River

Markus Zusak
“Imagine smiling after a slap in the face. Then think of doing it twenty-four hours a day.”
Markus Zusak, The Book Thief

“You know what they say - sleep is the mother's drug of choice, but like heroin, only the very rich and the very poor can afford it.”
Elissa Schappell, Blueprints for Building Better Girls: Fiction

Carlos Ruiz Zafón
“Books are mirrors: you only see in them what you already have inside you.”
Carlos Ruiz Zafón, The Shadow of the Wind

Sue Monk Kidd
“I know you've run away - everybody gets the urge to do that some time - but sooner or later you'll want to go home.”
