More From Erin Morgenstern

According to adams, jefferson proposed that he, adams, do the writing [pf the declaration of independence], but that he declined, telling jefferson he must do it. why?" jefferson asked, as adams would recount. reasons enough," adams said. what can be your reasons?" reason first: you are a virginian and a virginian ought to appear at the head of this business. reason second: i am obnoxious, suspected and unpopular. you are very much otherwise. reason third: you can write ten times better than i can.

I do not believe that all books will or should migrate onto screens: as douglas adams once pointed out to me, more than 20 years before the kindle turned up, a physical book is like a shark. sharks are old: there were sharks in the ocean before the dinosaurs. and the reason there are still sharks around is that sharks are better at being sharks than anything else is.

The books in mo and meggie's house were stacked under tables, on chairs, in the corners of the rooms. there where books in the kitchen and books in the lavatory. books on the tv set and in the closet, small piles of books, tall piles of books, books thick and thin, books old and new. they welcomed meggie down to breakfast with invitingly opened pages; they kept boredom at bay when the weather was bad. and sometimes you fall over them.
Book Fall Weather
I am a product of endless books. my father bought all the books he read and never got rid of any of them. there were books in the study, books in the drawing room, books in the cloakroom, books (two deep) in the great bookcase on the landing, books in a bedroom, books piled as high as my shoulder in the cistern attic...in the seemingly endless rainy afternoons i took volume after volume from the shelves. i had always the same certainty of finding a book that was new to me as a man who walks into a field has of finding a new blade of grass.

I am no fun at all. in fact, i am anti-fun. not as in anti-violence, but as in anti-matter. i am not so much against fun - although i suppose i kind of am - as i am the opposite of fun. i suck the fun out of a room. or perhaps i'm just a different kind of fun; the kind that leaves on bereft of hope; the kind of fun that ends in tears.
Fun Opposites Tears
I don't think i've ever been critical of the money douglas adams makes, especially since, as has been tactfully pointed out, i myself have had to change banks having filled the first one up.

She started thinking about all the euphemisms for death, all the anxious taboos that had always fascinated her. it was too bad you could never have an intelligent discussion on the subject. people were either too young or too old, or else they didn't have time.

A novel it's different. it's kind of exhilarating not to have to cut to the bone constantly. oh, well i can go over here for a moment. i can say what i think the guy was thinking or what the day looked like or what the bird was doing. if you do that as a playwright, you're dead.

What i call middle-class society is any society that becomes rigidified in predetermined forms, forbidding all evolution, all gains, all progress, all discovery. i call middle-class a closed society in which life has no taste, in which the air is tainted, in which ideas and men are corrupt. and i think that a man who takes a stand against this death is in a sense a revolutionary.

I don't think any sensible person would disagree that the invasion of iraq led to the massive level of instability that we're seeing right now. i think that was one of the worst foreign policy blunders in the modern history of the united states.
