"I guessed I should continue reading this after five years, and The Imp of the Perverse was a good short story to go back to Poe. Quite similar to The Black Cat and The Tell-Tale Heart, again an unreliable, possibly mad, narrator confesses to a murder. The best part of the story is that the narrator makes the reader relate by alluding to how persistent intrusive thoughts are. Quite cool." Apr 21, 2018 04:57AM

“It is thanks to my evening reading alone that I am still more or less sane.”
W.G. Sebald, Vertigo

Markus Zusak
“Of course, I'm being rude. I'm spoiling the ending, not only of the entire book, but of this particular piece of it. I have given you two events in advance, because I don't have much interest in building mystery. Mystery bores me. It chores me. I know what happens and so do you. It's the machinations that wheel us there that aggravate, perplex, interest, and astound me. There are many things to think of. There is much story.”
Markus Zusak, The Book Thief

Charlotte Brontë
“Do you think I am an automaton? — a machine without feelings? and can bear to have my morsel of bread snatched from my lips, and my drop of living water dashed from my cup? Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong! — I have as much soul as you — and full as much heart! And if God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you. I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities, nor even of mortal flesh: it is my spirit that addresses your spirit; just as if both had passed through the grave, and we stood at God's feet, equal — as we are!”
Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

Italo Calvino, If on a Winter's Night a Traveler

Nora Ephron
“Reading is escape, and the opposite of escape; it's a way to make contact with reality after a day of making things up, and it's a way of making contact with someone else's imagination after a day that's all too real.”
Nora Ephron
