This one seemed underwhelming in the beginning, but I'm so glad I pushed through because the threads came together beautifully and brought themes of love, friendship, and the possibility of change into clear view. Also, the bookishness of it all was so endearing. The truth that right book isn't the right book until the right time shines brightly here. Also, "I like talking about books with people who like talking about books."
"The things we respond to at 20 are not necessarily the same things we will respond to at 40 and vice versa. This is true in books, and also in life."
"The most annoying thing
about it is that once a person gives a sh*t about one thing, he finds he
has to start giving a sh*t about everything."
"Why is any one book different from any other book? They are different, AJ decides, because they are. We have to look inside many. We have to believe. We agree to be disappointed sometimes, so that we can be exhilarated every now and again."
