Review: Ready Player One
Artful
Books themselves take time, more time more time than most of us are used to giving them. - Ali Smith
Review: All the King’s Men
Though it was written 70 years ago, it seems like this book has had a major impact on how the entertainment industry writes and produces political dramas today.
Review: M Train
The thing that Patti Smith writes about always seems secondary to the way in which she writes about it. “I’m sure I could write endlessly about nothing. If only I had nothing to say,” writes Smith.
Review: The Bad-Ass Librarians of Timbuktu
“The dampness and the rain are hastening the destruction of these and many other manuscripts," Haidara told me. "They should be returned to Timbuktu as quickly as possible," The drier air in Timbuktu acted as a kind of safeguard against fungal rot, though the arid climate of his hometown was also deleterious over time, causing unprotected pages to grow brittle and fall apart. " We have begun to see... mold, mildew, and fungus on paper and also on leather bindings.”
Series Review: The Spiderwick Chronicles
These mini adventures are well worth coming back to again and again over the years.
Review: What Is The What
“The truth is I do not like hanging in there. I was born, I believe, to do more. Or perhaps it’s that I survived to do more,” Dave Eggers
Review: The Land of Stories
“The world will always choose convenience over reality. It’s easier to hate, blame, and fear than it is to understand. No one wants the truth; they want entertainment.”
Warbreaker Review
“War is far worse. At least where politics is going on, there are usually nice hors d’oeuvres.”
The Sun and Her Flowers
“leaving her country/was not easy for my mother/i still catch her searching for it/in foreign films/and the international food aisle,” Rupi Kaur
