McSweeney's 2/2

Have just finished the wonderful McSweeney's Created in Darkness By Troubled Americans humor collection.  Click here for a list of things actually said by Patrick Thomas's Hollywood bosses. 

A couple teasers:
"I don't want to understand it, I just want to know how it's going to be done."

"You're too enthusiastic and eager to please. Every time I see you smile, it ruins my whole day."

From McSweeneys 1/2

By Sean Carman, from McSweeney's, "Lessons Learned from My Study of Literature:"

Alcoholism has a sadly romantic quality that conventional attitudes overlook. Society = afraid to say this!

Breathing Books

This absolutely wonderful blog is the best side of what we tend to see on the web.  Someone gets inspired, decides to collect things.  A librarians delight: a list of quotes.  In this case: books and breathing.


"Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. One does not love breathing." ~ Harper Lee.

"I nearly always write, just as I nearly always breathe." ~
John Steinbeck.
