Sometimes you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book. And then there are books, which you can’t tell people about, books so special and rare and yours that advertising your affection feels like a betrayal.
The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
My eyes sting from the smell of typing ink. My fingers are striped with paper cuts. Who knew paper and ink could be so vicious.
Miss Skeeter; The Help by Kathryn Stockett
I like that every page in every book can have a gem on it. It’s probably what I love most about writing—that words can be used in a way that’s like a child playing in a sandpit, rearranging things, swapping them around. They’re the best moments in a day of writing — when an image appears that you didn’t know would be there when you started work in the morning.

Currently Reading: Slimed!: An Oral History of Nickelodeon’s Golden Age by Mathew Klickstein
This is one of the books that I got for Christmas. I’m a little skeptical because the entire book is written in this interview format. It should be an interesting read, though!

The hunger for good books is more general and more insistent that you would dream. But it is still in a way subconscious. People need books, but they don’t know they need them. Generally they are not aware that the books they need are in existence.
The Haunted Bookshop by Christopher Morley
I always order the banned books from a black market dealer in California. figuring if the State of Mississippi banned them, they must be good.
Miss Skeeter; The Help by Kathryn Stockett
Books were only one type of receptacle where we stored a lot of things we were afraid we might forget. There is nothing magical in them, at all. The magic is only in what books say, how they stitched the patches of the universe together into one garment for us.
Faber; Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
When they’re handed this book, they’re all expecting something explosive, something controversial, something they’ll want to talk about long into the night afterward, not because they are told to do so by a teacher, but because they need to, because their heart beats quicker or slower depending on whether or not their friends agree with what they think. That’s the impact of the book that stays with you, isn’t it?

I read the way you read when you’re young. I believed that everything had been written for me.
Gilad, You Deserve Nothing by Alexander Maksik
The books are to remind us what asses and fools we are.
