[livejournal.com profile] aelisdeliria lent me a book, called _Welcome to the Ark_, by Stephanie S. Tolan. It's... captivating. I _must_ own this book.

The reason I'm writing right now is a quote which I had to share...

"How smart do you feel?"
"Comparatively?"
"No. Just you yourself. How smart do you really feel?"
"Truth?"
"Of course, truth!"
"I've spent my whole life trying not to know how scary it was to have people call me the smartest kid in the world. Because I don't know anything."


*shiver* Yeah. Not to that degree, but yeah.

Not feeling specific at the moment (or usually), but you seem to give out enough random book suggestions that it probably doesn't matter. ;)

They're not random! *mock-insulted* They always relate to the topic at hand. Even if only by weird tangential connections known only to me. But of course, since I'm the one who's read them, they wouldn't make tangential connection for anyone else who hasn't read them. And speaking of not reading, let me know if you come with a specific type of book you'd like to read more of. Particular Fantasy and Science Fiction, as that's most of what's stocked in my head library. Some Poetry too. And Philosophy. And History. Well, you know what I mean.

*chuckle* By random, in this instance, I meant that they had not been prompted for by me. :)

I don't tend to _have_ book 'types' that I look for, at least not that I can describe. Kinda like my musical tastes...
