"I discovered that to achieve perfect personal silence all I had to do was to attach myself leechlike to sound. I began to listen to everything. I probably hoped that after I had heard all the sounds, really heard them and packed them down, deep in my ears, the world would be quiet around me."

"If we believe that humanity may transcend tooth & claw, if we believe diverse races & creeds can share this world as peaceably as the orphans share their candlenut tree, if we believe leaders must be just, violence muzzled, power accountable & the riches of the Earth & its Oceans shared equitably, such a world will come to pass...

Amulet, a lovely graphic novel series geared toward a younger audience, but, surprisingly, has some darker tones to the narrative and the artwork. I chose this as my #allagescomic for the #readharderchallenge2017 and am glad to have chosen this series because it's exceeded my expectations; it's fun to read, the artwork is great, and it's really refreshing to see a young, female protagonist's story not bound by a story arc based around romance.

Just finished this book tonight. Using Christopher's mental health state as the primary perspective and focal point allowed me to appreciate the book for more than the literature in itself; the anticipation of what the hell Christopher was going to do or how he was going to react to the world around him kept me going. It's not clear whether Chris is supposed to be a high-functioning, autistic or a savant, but I was intrigued 'til the end.

Supbooks Oh, and reading during a power outage is always really great! I never thought I'd look forward to not having electricity, haha! 8y

Next up for the Litsy Reading Challenge 2017: Robert A. Heinlein's "Starship Troopers." This one will satisfy the "Judge by the Cover" category. I've been fascinated with the artwork for years, but never bothered to read it until now!

Next up on my reading list is this book I randomly found at our local Goodwill. There are many sub-genres in electronica that I really enjoy that are mentioned in this book, so I thought it would be interesting to read a book on the history of electronica that also includes the history of hip-hop, downtempo, and post-punk/industrial music.

Feeling that old school vibe in Cline's "Ready Player One." I'm only about 80 pages in, but the similarities between blurring reality and fantasy through my experience with online gaming and forum communities are uncanny. I feel younger just reading this! The Super Famicom was released in the 90s, but this is my original and oldest console from childhood. #readyplayerone #nostalgia #childhood

Getting ready for the upcoming General Election by reading through Washington's voters' pamphlet. My pocket Declaration of Independence & Constitution will help to guide me through this tumultuous time 👍🏼.
