"Finished the 2nd book around Jan. 2018. Once I got back into it I really liked it. Magic was used a bit differently and there popped in a couple small bits where you could tell it was in the same world as the first book, but still far away. Again, it's obvious to tell this is more early work by the general flatness of the characters but the plot is good old fantasy that I love." May 06, 2018 02:46PM

“Books serve to show a man that those original thoughts of his aren't very new after all.”
Abraham Lincoln

Jane Austen
“I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book! -- When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.”
Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

Tom Robbins
“Our lives are not as limited as we think they are; the world is a wonderfully weird place; consensual reality is significantly flawed; no institution can be trusted, but love does work; all things are possible; and we all could be happy and fulfilled if we only had the guts to be truly free and the wisdom to shrink our egos and quit taking ourselves so damn seriously.”
Tom Robbins

Groucho Marx
“Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read.”
Groucho Marx, The Essential Groucho: Writings For By And About Groucho Marx

Philip Pullman
“We don’t need a list of rights and wrongs, tables of dos and don’ts: we need books, time, and silence. Thou shalt not is soon forgotten, but Once upon a time lasts forever.”
Philip Pullman
