“‘I’ve watched through his eyes, I’ve listened through his ears, and I tell you he’s the one.’” — Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card.I wish everyone can read this book. The world might be a better place.  But doesn’t everybody say that about every book?Interesting

i’m so happy that “The Voyage of the Dawn Treader” got some love. It is my favorite book from the Narnia series, which I’ve read 17 times.

“We were somewhere around Barstow when the drugs began to take hold”.HST
