Books and favorite passages.
This page is for books I’m reading, lines I want to remember, and the stories that stay in my head after I close the book.
It can be simple: what I’m reading, what I liked, and the little notes I want to keep.
Lines I underlined and kept.
Photos of the actual pages, pencil marks and all, with the passages written out so they are easy to read.
“I saw my life branching out before me like the green fig tree in the story. From the tip of every branch, like a fat purple fig, a wonderful future beckoned and winked.”
“A man, after he has brushed off the dust and chips of his life, will have left only the hard, clean questions: Was it good or was it evil? Have I done well—or ill?”
“And now that you don't have to be perfect, you can be good.”
“I believe a strong woman may be stronger than a man, particularly if she happens to have love in her heart. I guess a loving woman is almost indestructible.”
“I knew I had been transformed, moved by the revelation that human beings create art, that to be an artist was to see what others could not.”
A place for books I want to remember.
Books I’m reading now
A simple place to keep the current stack, from novels and poetry to whatever else I pick up.
Lines I want to keep
Not a full review page, just a place for favorite sentences and thoughts that stay with me.
Stories that feed everything else
Books can affect drawings, music, blog posts, and the way the whole site feels.
Reading gives the site another side of me.
It shows what I am paying attention to, not only what I am making.
