This book contains some utter bullshit, but on the whole it made me feel invigorated and inspired.

“Turns out the real reason for growing up was to learn what to do with suffering. Not being surprised was the answer. What else do you want to know?”
(from “Powers”)

“I think if you read a poem, then forget you've read it, and then much later you read it again, it really does get better.” (From “Stop Thinking & End Your Problems”)

Every Barbara Pym novel gets 5 stars from me.

It's a rare pleasure to enjoy a book where at least half of what goes on goes entirely over your head.

Exciting read, although as usual with most crime/detective/mystery novels I felt unsatisfied with the ending. But at least now I can watch the movie without guilt.

Not a perfect collection of essays, but it made me so happy to read this.

Weird fun dystopian sci-fi thousands of years in the future, with dragons flying overhead and two rich spoiled
affianced teenagers and a feral girl raised on a trash island and a city perpetually on fire and lots lots more.

Beautifully written, heartbreaking in places. I wanted to devour it but it was too much sometimes.
