"I've always had a deep aversion to this book... And little wonder. As I started reading, it's the story of me, almost verbatim.
A divorced woman, disillusioned by her own successes... Getting everything that she never really wanted. Losing everything that in her mind, defined her.
In a world that tells us what to want, in order to be a "good woman".... I suspect this story belongs to many women." — Jan 20, 2018 02:14AM

"Sometimes it ain't fair. Sometimes it just sucks. Yes I agree... F*ck positivity... And fuck trying to mind f*ck ourselves with a bunch of insipid cliches. Telling someone to "think positive" when they're dying of personal agony... Is just psychotic.
I love this effing book already!" — Dec 27, 2017 08:19PM

"I so identify with this author's desire to experience a different reality firsthand, to immerse and to blend into a lifestyle that is foreign. It's a kind of tourism all its own, but with the capacity to change everything about a person, everything you thought you knew about life. I'm fascinated with this period in history and place, I'm so grateful that somebody took the time to write with this perspective." — Mar 19, 2017 08:02AM

“At three in the morning the blood runs slow and thick, and slumber is heavy. The soul either sleeps in blessed ignorance of such an hour or gazes about itself in utter despair. There is no middle ground.”

“Misanthropes have some admirable - if paradoxical - virtues. It is no exaggeration to say that we are among the nicest people you are likely to meet. Because good manners build sturdy walls, our distaste for intimacy makes us exceedingly cordial. “ships that pass in the night.” As long as you remain a stranger we will be your friend forever.”

“The human race had always disgusted me. essentially, what made them disgusting was the family-relationship illness, which included marriage, exchange of power and aid, which neighborhood, your district, your city, your county, your state, your nation-everybody grabbing each other's assholes in the Honeycomb of survival out of a fear-animalistic stupidity.”
