“In the face of overwhelming options, a deadline clarifies what I want to read right now. It focuses my attention on what I want to happen next. Just like a journalist who lives and dies by their deadline, a reading deadline ensures my books get read sooner, not later.”

“Our books frame the scenes for us so we can better understand and experience what's happening when it happens to us….
“Sometimes our on-the-page experiences mean so much to us that we create a real-life experience that intentionally imitates art
“….if my real life reminds me of something I read in a book, I’m reading well—and I’m probably living well, too.”

“People weren’t born and fastened to earth any more. They came and went, returning and leaving, not like a tide but in scattered ways and times.”

“Now in November I can see our years as a whole…. I can look back now and see the days as one looking down on things past, and they have more shape and meaning than before. But nothing is really finished or left behind forever.”

“… Levi is not just hugging Tim. He's also gripping his shoulders tightly, fingers digging painfully into Tim's flesh as he murmurs something in his ear. I can't make out the words, but by the time Levi straightens back up, Tim's mouth is pulled in a thin, straight line, his face is milk white in a way I don't remember ever seeing before, and his expression looks almost…scared.” GIGGLING KICKING MY FEET HEHE

“‘It wasn’t about you.’ That lie rolled off her tongue like a mudslide: unpremeditated, quick, and bound to leave a huge mess behind. ‘I know.’ He nodded, and…he didn’t even look surprise. It was as though it never occurred to him at Olive might have been interested in him.” THE ANGSTTTTT

“‘Stop harassing my girlfriend.’” BOY HOWDY. Here we go

“There’s a lot of repetition in my life. No real routine or negative, just a repetition, and before I know it, I’m sitting in the break room, drinking a cup of coffee (it doesn’t taste good) and staring at my phone again, scrolling, waiting for the motivation to get up and go to my desk.” Same girl lmao
