I've been told that I have a very strange taste in books. I don't think I do but if I do, so what?
I hate these new recomended reading lists for high schoolers that contain so much trash. I mean, who decided what became a classic. Now I don't want to say that I'm one of those weird book burners but, I don't believe in having someone else dictate the books that our future generation should or should not be reading. That is why I love the idea of bookcrossing. Somehow the "book gods" led a person to a book that was meant to be found.
Now some fun stuff:
Rainbows follow stormy skies
"To each person is given the keys to the gates of heaven. Those keys also open the gates of hell." --Buddhist Proverb [*The Meaning of It All* by Richard Feynman]
"The road to hell is paved with good intentions."--Annonymous
"The heart speaks most when the mouth moves not. "--German Proverb [Lillian Gilbreth in *Time Out For Happiness* by Frank B. Gilbreth Jr.]
"We adore chaos because we love to produce order."--M.C. Escher
"We hanker after the unnatural or supernatural, that which does not exist, a miracle. As if ordinary reality isn't enigmatic enough!"--M. C. Escher
"Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?"--The Joker
