Tja, det kan vel være så mangt, men det har alltid med handlingen å gjøre. Språket kan være hvor bra som helst, men om jeg kjeder meg mens jeg leser så når det ikke opp. Slik er det for meg med flere typiske klassikere for eksempel; jeg kan se at boka er bra, dyp, og hvorfor folk liker den etc etc, men det har ikke noe å si om jeg ikke koste meg mens jeg leste.
Om jeg ikke har lyst til å legge den fra meg er det terningkast 6. Enkelt og greit.

Som barn lånte jeg bøker på biblioteket hele tiden, men nå kjøper jeg alle bøkene mine. Mest fordi jeg aldri vet når jeg får tid til å lese dem, så da er det bedre for meg å kjøpe.

You said I killed you - haunt me, then! The murdered do haunt their muderers, I believe - I know that ghosts have wandered on earth. Be with me always - take any form - drive me mad! only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you! I cannot live without my life! I cannot live without my soul!

If he loved with all the powers of his puny being, he couldn't love as much in eighty years as I could in a day.

My great miseries in this world have been Heathcliff's miseries, and I watched and felt each from the beginning; my great thought in living is himself. If all else perished, and he remained, I should still continue to be; and, if all else remained, an he were annihilated, the Universe would turn to a mighty stranger.

"Why canst thou not always be a good lass, Cathy?"
And she turned her face up to his, and laughed, and answered -
"Why cannot you always be a good man, father?"
Jeg noterer og bretter som bare det i bøker jeg har på pensum. Life of Pi, for eksempel, er stappfull av notater og fargerike klistrelapper. Jeg noterer ikke i bøker ellers, rett og slepp fordi jeg ikke trenger det, men jeg har ingen problemer med å brette eselører eller å få riper i ryggen. Ingenting irriterer meg mer enn folk som tilber bøker så mye at de ikke en gang tåler at de ser ut som de har blitt lest i. Jeg liker bøker som ser brukte ut, det er tross alt det de er til. Harry Potter bøkene mine faller sikkert snart fra hverandre, og sånn synes jeg det skal være.

Let him have all the perfections in the world, I think it ought not to be set down as certain, that a man must be acceptable to every woman he may happen to like himself.

[Edmund] could allow his sister to be the best judge of her own happiness, but he was not pleased that her happiness should centre in a large income; nor could he refrain from often saying to himself, in Mr. Rushworth's company, "If this man had not twelve thousand a year, he would be a very stupid fellow."

There is no reason in the world why you should not be important where you are known.

(...) what I really wanted to do was cry. Not only because Finn had never told me abut this guy, but because there was no way to ask him about it. And until then I don't think I really understood the meaning of gone.
At the end of that day the painting was still unframed. It went back in the trunk of the car, back in the same black plastic bag we brought it in.
"We'll try again tomorrow," my mother said in the parking lot. "He said he's got more."
"Why don't you just go by yourself?" Greta asked.
"Absolutely not. This is something Finn made for the two of you. This is your responsibility."

The truth welled up inside him. The fact that he loved her. And the fact that it wouldn't save him.
"We don't make it out of here, do we?" he said.
Diana shook her head. "No, my love."

I couldn't be mad at him for even a moment, and only now that I loved a grenade did I understand the foolishness of trying to save others from my own impending fragmentation: I couldn't unlove Augustus Waters. And I didn't want to.

It would be a privilege to have my heart broken by you.
"The Wall has stood for what, eight thousand years? It can keep a few days more. I have more pressing concerns. These are difficult times. I need good men about me. Men like Jon Arryn. He served as Lord of the Eyrie, as Warden of the East, as Hand of the King. He will not be easy to replace."
