The Commitment by Dan Savage
The Commitment: Love, Sex, Marriage, and My Family
by Dan Savage (Goodreads Author)
read in May, 2013
The stories were a great part of the book, but Dan Savage can sometimes come on a bit too strong. I'm not a personal believer in marriage, but I support the right for any consenting adults to be married. I think his stories of discussing marriage wit...more

The Casual Vacancy
by J.K. Rowling
read in May, 2013

“People shouldn't be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of their people.”
Alan Moore, V for Vendetta

Elizabeth Gilbert
“The love that moves the sun and the other stars.”
Elizabeth Gilbert

Alan Moore
“My experience of life is that it is not divided up into genres; it’s a horrifying, romantic, tragic, comical, science-fiction cowboy detective novel. You know, with a bit of pornography if you're lucky.”
Alan Moore

Louise Erdrich
“Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won't either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could.”
Louise Erdrich, The Painted Drum LP

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
“Goodbye," said the fox. "And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.”
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
