Reviews
"An uncommon commonplace book from a wide-ranging reader . . . A diverting trove of witty remarks."-- Kirkus Reviews, "A literary manifesto--a celebration of direct and exacting voices, a rejection of the fuzzily adorable, and a recommendation of humor as one of the essential tools of both art and life." --Henry Hitchings, The Wall Street Journal "A good Christmas present for pretty much anyone. . .Quotations books are often awful and faux-wise, but this is sharp and funny." --India Knight , Times Literary Supplement "An uncommon commonplace book from a wide-ranging reader . . . A diverting trove of witty remarks."-- Kirkus Reviews, "A commonplace book is an oblique form of autobiography. Here it doubles up as a literary manifesto--a celebration of direct and exacting voices, a rejection of the fuzzily adorable, and a recommendation of humor as one of the essential tools of both art and life." --Henry Hitchings, The Wall Street Journal "An uncommon commonplace book from a wide-ranging reader . . . A diverting trove of witty remarks."-- Kirkus Reviews, "A literary manifesto--a celebration of direct and exacting voices, a rejection of the fuzzily adorable, and a recommendation of humor as one of the essential tools of both art and life." --Henry Hitchings, The Wall Street Journal "An uncommon commonplace book from a wide-ranging reader . . .

    Best quotation collection I've read. I first got it from the library and then knew I wanted a copy for myself. Funny, profound, awesome!
