W. Somerset Maugham

“To acquire the habit of reading is to construct for yourself a refuge from almost all the miseries of life.”
― W. Somerset Maugham, Books and You

Martin Luther King Jr.

“People fail to get along because they fear each other; they fear each other because they don't know each other; they don't know each other because they have not communicated with each other.”
― Martin Luther King Jr.

Honoré de Balzac

“Solitude is fine but you need someone to tell that solitude is fine.”
― Honoré de Balzac

John Fante

“We talked, she and I. She asked about my work and it was a pretense, she was not interested in my work. And when I answered, it was a pretense. I was not interested in my work either. There was only one thing that interested us, and she knew it. She had made it plain by her coming.”
― John Fante, Ask the Dust

Albert Einstein

“A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”
― Albert Einstein

The research projects have been completed, and I would like to thank everybody who has participated.* So, I'm doing a super-important research project about the weirdos who inhabit the online community goodreads.com. What is this group for? THIS GROUP IS FOR ME TO INTERROGATE YOU YOU TO EXPRESS YOURSELF IN NEW, AMAZING WAYS BY ANSWERING QUESTIONS ABOUT THE WAY YOU USE GOODREADS. *UPDATE, 12/13/10: As of last week, I've reorganized the threads in the hopes of making it clear what actually pertains to the project, and what is just fun conversation! This isn't to discourage off-topicness, but will hopefully make it easier for new members to not get totally overwhelmed. Again, thanks for the great conversations, and I'll be posting more questions gradually.* Specifically, I'm doing a rhetoric project where I'm attempting to answer the questions: How are reviews on social cataloguing websites evolving as a genre? How do the authors of these reviews percieve the review writing process? Do these reviews all fit into one genre, or are there multiple genres of online book reviewing? I may develop more questions as the project goes on, but this is where I'm starting. ...more
