More From Curtis Sittenfeld

Reading is everything. reading makes me feel like i've accomplished something, learned something, become a better person. reading makes me smarter. reading gives me something to talk about later on. reading is the unbelievably healthy way my attention deficit disorder medicates itself. reading is escape, and the opposite of escape; it's a way to make contact with reality after a day of making things up, and it's a way of making contact with someone else's imagination after a day that's all too real. reading is grist. reading is bliss.
Real Reading Book
Prosecutors insist they are mounting a "thorough investigation," which sometimes means thorough and sometimes, historically, has meant long enough to let the fire burn down in an incendiary case. a thorough investigation is fine; an interminable one is disgraceful.
Mean Fire Justice
You will want a book which contains not man's thoughts, but god's - not a book that may amuse you, but a book that can save you - not even a book that can instruct you, but a book on which you can venture an eternity - not only a book which can give relief to your spirit, but redemption to your soul - a book which contains salvation, and conveys it to you, one which shall at once be the saviour's book and the sinner's.

He's [constable] a great painter as far as it goes, but i don't think he's remotely interesting. not really. it's very pretty and it's very thorough, but it's not evocative, it's not dramatic, it doesn't do what beethoven does - it doesn't shake you down to the roots of your soul, which turner does. constable is just very nice, basically. and moving on to personality, constable was a very dull character.
Nice Moving Character
When a man spends his own money to buy something for himself, he is very careful about how much he spends and how he spends it. when a man spends his own money to buy something for someone else, he is still very careful about how much he spends, but somewhat less what he spends it on. when a man spends someone else's money to buy something for himself, he is very careful about what he buys, but doesn't care at all how much he spends. and when a man spends someone else's money on someone else, he does't care how much he spends or what he spends it on. and that's government for you.

For most people, what is so painful about reading is that you read something and you don't have anybody to share it with. in part what the book club opens up is that people can read a book and then have someone else to talk about it with. then they see that a book can lead to the pleasure of conversation, that the solitary act of reading can actually be a part of the path to communion and community.

My books are written with a strong chronological spine.
Strong Book Spine
I can't imagine a home without an overflow of books. the point of books is to have way too many but to always feel you never have enough, or the right one at the right moment, but then sometimes to find you'd longed to fall asleep reading the aspern papers, and there it is.
Reading Book Fall
When you sell a man a book you don't sell just twelve ounces of paper and ink and glue - you sell him a whole new life. love and friendship and humour and ships at sea by night - there's all heaven and earth in a book, a real book.
Real Book Love Life
A book is a book, but a movie is a movie. the more faithful you are, the more you'll come up with harry potter #1 and #2, which are like filmed books on tape. they're so petrified of turning off the readers that they make no concessions to the fact that they're trying to make a piece of cinema.
