"One of my absolute fav authors — excited to find another self read audiobook which elevates Hari to perhaps my fav reading experience when combined with reading along in order to apply appropriate marginalia.. Not expecting Red Pill or Blue Ruin level but still.." — Dec 13, 2025 06:40AM

TheBookWarren’s Quotes

“The ache of the memory is gone, but he doesn't begrudge its visitation. He's lived long enough to know that the memory hurt because many years ago, in a dead timeline, he experienced a perfect moment.”
― Blake Crouch, Recursion

“PRODIGY IS, AT ITS essence, adaptability and persistent, positive obsession. Without persistence, what remains is an enthusiasm of the moment. Without adaptability, what remains may be channeled into destructive fanaticism. Without positive obsession, there is nothing at all.”
― Octavia E. Butler, Parable of the Sower

tags: adaptability, persistence, prodigy, survival

“Jay's not sure he believes in therapy. He definitely doesn't believe in closure. People aren't doors. They're whole floor plans, entire labyrinths, and the harder you try to escape, the more lost inside them you become.”
― Daniel Kraus, Whalefall
