Jerzy Jerzy said: " Rereading with kids (3rd to 5th grade-ish) and they seem to enjoy it as much as I did, ages and ages ago.

Now as an adult, I'm also delighted by how the author cheekily puts words in the kid narrator's mouth about her love of books. The narrator gushe

Groucho Marx
“I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book.”
Groucho Marx

Italo Calvino
“The inferno of the living is not something that will be; if there is one, it is what is already here, the inferno where we live every day, that we form by being together. There are two ways to escape suffering it. The first is easy for many: accept the inferno and become such a part of it that you can no longer see it. The second is risky and demands constant vigilance and apprehension: seek and learn to recognize who and what, in the midst of inferno, are not inferno, then make them endure, give them space.”
Italo Calvino, Invisible Cities

Douglas Adams
“The story so far:

This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.”
Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

Neil Gaiman
“Have been unavoidably detained by the world. Expect us when you see us.”
Neil Gaiman, Stardust

Terry Pratchett
“His philosophy was a mixture of three famous schools -- the Cynics, the Stoics and the Epicureans -- and summed up all three of them in his famous phrase, 'You can't trust any bugger further than you can throw him, and there's nothing you can do about it, so let's have a drink.”
Terry Pratchett, Small Gods
