| ©1935, so when you're camping you just bury your garbage. Also a lot of white people bullshit. Also how are these boys not dead yet? They have multiple concussions at this point. Also, apparently their friend Chet is only good for cooking food and ta ...more | |

It's not a secret library — it's a secret library (although the library itself is also a secret, I suppose). I loved this book! When I went to the book's goodreads page to leave my review, I noticed lots of low ratings. Did they read the same book I d ...more |

| I don't know what I expected, but it wasn't this. Probably what Red and Blue thought, too. This is one of those books where I went suddenly from just reading it to get through it to needing to know what happens next. ...more | |

“As you read this book, keep in mind that you have the liberty to move on to a different paragraph or chapter as you please, aided by the illustrations that correspond to text in various chapters. Language is linear, but narrative need not be.”

“Books, purchasable at low cost, permit us to interrogate the past with high accuracy; to tap the wisdom of our species; to understand the point of view of others, and not just those in power; to contemplate--with the best teachers--the insights, painfully extracted from Nature, of the greatest minds that ever were, drawn from the entire planet and from all of our history. They allow people long dead to talk inside our heads. Books can accompany us everywhere. Books are patient where we are slow to understand, allow us to go over the hard parts as many times as we wish, and are never critical of our lapses. Books are key to understanding the world and participating in a democratic society.”

“That mess about judging people by the content of their character and not the color of their skin—that's some bullshit. Nobody has the right to judge anybody else. Period. If you ain't been in my skin, you ain't never gonna understand my character.”

“When I was a child, adults would tell me not to make things up, warning me of what would happen if I did. As far as I can tell so far, it seems to involve lots of foreign travel and not having to get up too early in the morning.”

“Some have argued that because the universe is like a clock, there must be a Clockmaker. As the eighteenth-century British empiricist David Hume pointed out, this is a slippery argument, because there is nothing that is really perfectly analogous to the universe as a whole, unless it's another universe, so we shouldn't try to pass off anything that is just a part of this universe. Why a clock anyhow? Hume asks. Why not say the universe is analogous to a kangaroo? After all, both are organically interconnected systems. But the kangaroo analogy would lead to a very different conclusion about the origin of the universe: namely, that it was born of another universe after that universe had sex with a third universe. ”
