Just Another Nerdling

“Books can be possessive, can't they? You're walking around in a bookstore and a certain one will jump out at you, like it had moved there on its own, just to get your attention. Sometimes what's inside will change your life, but sometimes you don't even have to read it. Sometimes it's a comfort just to have a book around. Many of these books haven't even had their spines cracked. 'Why do you buy books you don't even read?' our daughter asks us. That's like asking someone who lives alone why they bought a cat. For company, of course.”
― Sarah Addison Allen, The Sugar Queen

“I am frequently underestimated. I think it's because I'm short.”
― Amie Kaufman, Illuminae

“I’d much rather pretend I’m
somewhere else, and any time I open
the pages of a book, that happens.”
― Jodi Picoult, Between the Lines

“Just so you know, when they say "once upon a time"....they're lying. It's not once upon a time. Its not even twice upon a time. It's hundreds of times, over and over, every time someone opens up the pages of this dusty old book.”
― Jodi Picoult, Between the Lines
