Fifteen books you've read that will always stick with you. First fifteen you can recall in no more than 15 minutes. (via [livejournal.com profile] fabu)
hmm, harder than it seems )
The Gone-Away World -- Nick Harkaway

I grew up with the Nuclear Threat. It lived on the corner of my street and it walked with me to school. Gonzo and I used to play with it when none of the other kids wanted to talk to us. We got so tired of playing Armageddon with that damn unimaginative Nuclear Threat that we implored it to learn another game, but it never did. Mostly it just sat there at the back of the classrooom and glowered. And then one day we heard it was dead. Some people seemed pretty upset about this, but I was just glad I didn't have to carry it around any more. Kids are selfish.
(p. 299)

Watchmen -- Alan Moore & Dave Gibbons
Things have their shape in time, not space alone. Some marble blocks have statues within them, embedded in their future.
