A Heartbreaking Work Of Staggering Genius


This week: 342
Last week: 457
Semester: 1877


Sentences:

1. "And if dead people aged, wouldn't it be a comfort? To think of Ethan growing up in heaven - fourteen years old now instead of twelve - eased the grief a little. Oh, it was their immunity to time that made the dead so heartbreaking."

2. "It seemed she had webbed his mind with her stories, wound him in slender steely threads from her life - her Shirley Temple childhood, unsavory girlhood, Norman flinging the screen out the window, Alexander mewing like a newborn kitten, Muriel wheeling on Doberman pinschers and scattering her salmon-pink business cards and galloping down the beach, all spiky limbs and flying hair, hauling a little red wagon full of lunches."

3. "Of all the things I am not very good at, living in the real world is perhaps the most outstanding."

(All from "The Accidental Tourist")

As much as I dislike mushy romance novels (which doesn't exactly identify this book but comes somewhat close), these quotes called out to me.
