Eh. Maybe if I saw the theatrical production I'd feel different; I didn't hate it, I wouId still recommend fans of the series to give it a read, but leave your expectations of resurgent feelings conjured by Rowling from the original seven books at the door.

"This is the Zodiac speaking..."

Truly chilling, bizarre and mysterious. This was a great novel depicting the shock and horror the Bay area went through from 1968-1981 as they were terrorized by an evasive and deadly sexual sadist.

"My constellations are not made from the stars, but from the spaces between the stars. The dark places. The open places, where your mind can travel forever and ever."

Then I ventured into the day, and plunged headlong into an orgy of murder and shrieking and breaking of glass.

Sometimes I think.. if I had to choose between an ear of corn or making love to a woman, I'd choose the corn. Not that I wouldn't love to have a final roll in the hay - I am a man yet, and some things never die - but the thought of those sweet kernels bursting between my teeth sure sets my mouth to watering. It's fantasy.. Neither will happen. I just like to weigh the options.. What a wonderful dilemma. Sometimes I substitute an apple for the corn

Painting the word 'dog' on the side of a pig doesn't make the pig a dog.

I laughed, I learned; I'm not any closer to finding the woman of my dreams but 2017 can't be any worse then 2016, can it? knock on wood.

You know that thing they say about sex and pizza: when it's good it's good; when it's bad it's still good.

Oh.My.Gosh. Stop whatever it is you are doing and read this novel! Not since The Time Traveler's Wife have I been so moved by, and so engulfed in a story. I will read this over and over again!

I was invisible, and I was only just beginning to realise the extra-ordinary advantage my invisibility gave me. My head was already teeming with plans of all the wild and wonderful things I had now impunity to do.

It was at ten o'clock today that the first of all Time Machines began its career. I gave it a last tap, tried all the screws again, put one more drop of oil on the quartz rod, and sat in the saddle. I suppose a suicide who holds a pistol to his skull feels much the same wonder at what will come next as I felt then.

Every chapter made me laugh and cry at some point but at the end of each, and at the conclusion of this amazing novel, I came away with a greater understanding of what it means to truly be alive. READ THIS BOOK!!!

I will not dream anymore, you said. I will not set myself up for the pain. But then your team made the playoffs, or you saw a movie, or a billboard glowing dusky orange and advertising Aruba, or a girl who bore more than a passing resemblance to a woman you'd dated in high school - a woman you'd loved and lost - danced above you with shimmering eyes, and you said, fuck it, let's dream just one more time.

The world would be a vastly improved place if more people read and shared this Daniel Quinn novel. Inspiring, motivating and thought provoking.

"...all the books and all the stars in the universe were pointless with no one to read them, no one to peer through the parting clouds for them."

"I was seventeen years old, bound for college in another year, and I didn't believe in such things as curses and emotions that linger and grow rancid, the spilled milk of dreams. I would not have granted you the power of the past to reach out horrid dead hands toward the living...but I'm a little older now."

"Always carry a large flagon of whiskey in case of a snakebite, and further, always carry a small snake."

"Spontaneous dance parties are important in my life. I have one in the makeup trailer almost every afternoon on Parks and Recreation. Dancing is the great equalizer. It gets people out of their heads and into their bodies. I think if you can dance and be free and not embarrassed you can rule the world."

Consider one, a Litsy user who finds themselves in a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is an area that might be called... the Twilight Zone.

This collection was an enjoyable testament to the greatness of Rod Serling's groundbreaking television series; I highly recommend it to any fan of the wondrous, the bizarre and the unexplainable!

" 'I'm sorry, honey,' he whispered. 'I love it because you gave it to me. But truth is, it is one ugly fucking tie.' "

"Foam smeared against the glass as he tried to bite his way through. Those muddled, bleary eyes stared into Donna's. I'm going to pull you to pieces, they said. You and the boy both. Just as soon as I find a way to get into this tin can, I'll eat you alive; I'll be swallowing pieces of you while you're still screaming."

"Life is not a paragraph, and death is no parenthesis"

I enjoyed this book, I prefer the works of Gillian Flynn ('Sharp Objects', 'Dark Places' and 'Gone Girl') over Paula Hawkins' novel, but still a good read!

"The beauty of this world where almost everyone was gone. If hell is other people, what is a world with almost no people in it? Perhaps soon humanity would simply flicker out, but Kirsten found this thought more peaceful than sad. So many species had appeared and later vanished from this earth; what was one more? How many people were even left now?"

"Don't judge a taco by its price."

"If somebody'd of come in and took a look, men watching a blank TV, a fifty-year old woman hollering and squealing at the back of their heads about discipline and order and recriminations, they'd of thought the whole bunch was crazy as loons."

"I used to think I was the only one who felt things, but I really am only one infinitely small part of an aching humanity. It's a good thing most people bleed on the inside or this would be a gory, blood-smeared earth."

"Remembering a man's stories makes him immortal, did you know that?"

"'If you are careful,' Garp wrote, 'if you use good ingredients, and you don't take any shortcuts, then you can usually cook something very good. Sometimes it is the only worthwhile product you can salvage from a day: what you make to eat. With writing, I find, you can have all the right ingredients, give plenty of time and care, and still get nothing. Also, true of love. Cooking, therefore, can keep a person who tries hard sane.'"

"'You can't beat the devil on your own. Don't fool yourself that you can, no matter what gifts you possess as a visionary. They are fallen angels, with all the powers of an angel. They have the power over matter. Bodies, faces, furniture. They can make a heart...stop.' He snapped his fingers. 'They are not to be trifled with.'"

"I guess I mean art should evoke some kind of reaction on a person, not just look beautiful. It should disturb people a little."

"Margo always loved mysteries. And in everything that came afterward, I could never stop thinking that maybe she loved mysteries so much that she became one."

"I wanted to stop peeing but couldn't, of course. Peeing is like a good book in that it is very, very hard to stop once you start."

"Initially he worried that he might be going crazy. But then he decided if you felt you were crazy you weren't really crazy because he had heard somewhere that crazy people didn't know they were insane."

"It's embarrassing that we all just walk through life blindly accepting that scrambled eggs are fundamentally associated with mornings."

"He had fallen in love with this wild, beautiful country and everything it contained. It was the kind of love people dream of having with other people: selfless and free of doubt, reverent and everlasting."
