I Recognize That On Paper, You Can't

There Is Really No End To Life's Little Humiliations.

A Magician Is Strong Because He Feels The Pain Between What The World Is And What He Would Make Of It.

My Book Group Has One Rule: No Books For Adults. We Read Young Adult Fiction Only.

When The Oldest Chatwin, Melancholy Martin, Opens The Cabinet Of The Grandfather Clock That Stands In A Dark, Narrow Back Hallway In His Aunt’s House And Slip Through Into Fillory...it’s Like He’s Opening The Covers Of A Book, But A Book That Did What Books Always Promised To Do And Never Ac Tually Quite Did: Get You Out, Really Out, Of Where You Were And Into Something Better.

The Novel Is A Highly Corrupt Medium, After All - In The End The Vast Majority Of Them Simply Aren't That Great, And Are Destined To Be Forgotten.
