Soooo I went to the school library with a list from my classroom collection to see what I could mark off as "not going to get me fired" and as I was going through the stacks I found this.

Is it actually possible to go to the library and NOT check out at least one book? Asking for a friend...

This is slow going; I'm not a literature scholar, and a few of the books are ones I'm not familiar with (and the ones I am familiar with, I haven't read in YEARS).

"When you have more words to describe the world, you increase your ability to think complex thoughts."

"I found that as I read my, my thoughts were getting deeper, my vision wider, and my emotions less shallow."

"In South Korea, I learned to hate the question 'What do you think?' Who cared what I thought? It took me a long time to start thinking for myself and to understand why my own opinions mattered."

"If everything I had been taught before was a lie, how could I know these people weren't lying, too?"

"The process of writing has been the process of remembering, and of trying to make sense out of those memories."

HOW THE HECK DO YOU NOT HAVE SOMEPLACE FOR GUESTS TO SIT? MERCY AND GRACE. Ugh. *rolling eyes super irked*

Intrigued and warmed by the generous, uncomplicated inclusion of nonbinary characters.

5 classes per day and each class is an hour long? I hope these are semester blocks and it's fast paced.

The characters are going around delivering messages and I just ... don't care? None of it seems to matter. I cannot figure out why people have raved about this.

"They were all annoying and deeply inadequate humans, but I didn't want to kill them. Okay, maybe a little."

How can anyone not love Murderbot?!!!
