“All God does is watch us and kill us whenever we get boring. We must never, ever be boring.”
“I’d rather be a freak than a clone.”
“The greatest things are accomplished by individual people, not companies or committees.”

very good choices, and I am very much looking forward to Joanne Harris’ Peaches sequel to Chocolat. But, could not get into Blue Eyed Boy – very disturbing. Bernieres Captain Corelli’s Mandolin is an amazing book and I have another on my TBR. My fave books include Elizabeth Kostova’s The Historian, Anthony Capella’s The Food of Love and Khaled Hosseini’s A Thousand Splendid Suns.
