So far this year, I’ve already read 41 books. I am crushing my reading goals! And having a great time doing it!

While I’m reading, I like to underline quotes and copy them down into a separate notebook that I flip through sometimes. Here are some from this year that I’ve really liked:

• “Since long before the invention of writing, we human beings have faced our greatest challenges by telling stories. When we are confronted with war, violence, terror, — or a pandemic — we tell stories to sort things out and push back against a frightening and incomprehensible world. Stories tell us where we’ve been and where we’re going. They make sense of the senseless and bring order to disorder.” (From Fourteen Days)
• “When you’re playing the game on paper, if it’s important enough for the game master to tell you it’s there, it’s probably going to be useful.” (From Greenglass House)
• “Everything is going to be all right. Or, if not, everything is going to be.” (From How to Stop Time)
• “Your mother is a better man than me. Mothers are almost always better men than men are.” (From Blasphemy)

There are so many more great lines from what I’ve been reading. I could fill books with them (wink).

Whatever you’re doing right now, hope it’s going well. Happy reading and writing today and every day!
