Book-related ramblings

...religion was a virus. It spread fastest when the conditions were right

Resurrection, Skulduggery Pleasant - Book 10

A man does not recover from such jolts– he becomes a different person and, eventually, the new person finds new things to care about.

F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Crack-Up

[bookswiththefur]

I don’t know that we are actually human at this point, those of us who are like most of us, who grew up with TV and movies and now the Internet. If we are betrayed, we know the words to say; when a loved one dies, we know the words to say. If we want to play the stud or the smart-ass or the fool, we know the words to say. We are all working from the same dog-eared script.

It’s a very difficult era in which to be a person, just a real, actual person, instead of a collection of personality traits selected from an endless automat of characters.

And if all of us are play-acting, there can be no such thing as a soul mate, because we don’t have genuine souls.

It had gotten to the point where it seemed like nothing matters, because I’m not a real person and neither is anyone else.

I would have done anything to feel real again.

Gillian Flyn, Gone Girl

“sparrow flies south for winter”

bahahaha! even Ghastly uses that phrase!

“What do you know,” Ravel said, breathing a little faster, “Skulduggery’s silly little code actually works.”

[bookswiththefur]

“Please tell me that there’s some sort of cool magical search system where the name we seek will suddenly appear to us.” “Yes,” said Skulduggery. “It’s called Alphabetical Order.”

Parkour!

Idk why but dresden shouting "Parkour!" is the funniest thing to me. I have to take a few minutes off to laugh out loud. my kid is looking at me like I'm crazy. Can't wait for my kid to grow up so I can recommend this book.

[bookswiththefur]

how does dresden watch movies?

[xserpx]

He goes to the drive-in in Aurora. Occasionally he takes Bob, and he went to see Highlander with Luccio.

[bookswiththefur]

oh, well, thanks. I’m still in the early part of the series, sooooo… I shouldn’t have posted that, huh.

[bookswiththefur]

I’m on Ghost Story now. and he explained how he watches movies. cool stuff. hopefully he regains his body by the end of this thing. would be weird if he remains a ghost in the next books.

[bookswiththefur]

Mac, mac... hmmmm. i see him as that dude with the killer steak in house of cards...
