I see now that dismissing YA books because you're not a young adult is a little bit like refusing to watch thrillers on the ground that you're not a policeman or a dangerous criminal...The world sudde...
I may not know the weight of those things, but I could feel the weight of that one, so I kept it to myself. You know that things aren't going well for you when you can't even tell people the simplest...
I libri, ammettiamolo, sono meglio di qualunque altra cosa. Se organizzassimo un campionato di fantaboxe culturale, schierando sul ring i libri contro il meglio che qualunque altra forma d’arte abbia...

During the night, I have one of those dreams that aren’t really dreams at all, just stuff about Laura fucking Ray, and Marco fucking Charlie, and I’m pleased to wake up in the middle of the night, bec...
Charlie on omandanud sellise tähtsuse, et mul on tunne, nagu peaks ta elama Marsil, nii et katsed temaga suhelda maksakasid miljoneid naelu ja jõuaksid temani alles valgusaastate pärast. Ta on maaväli...
