Art and Quotes
Woman Reading, by Kuroda Seiki
'You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture.
Just get people to stop reading them.'
- Ray Bradbury
Discussions and Book Chats
Bookie Brunch question: Are books better with or without love triangles?
Some love triangles are so well-constructed and well-written that they pull at my heart strings and simply make sense because they are written cleverly and with a purpose. In the last years, however, love triangles have started to overcrowd the book market, especially the young adult (YA) section. - Irena, at This Miss Loves to Read
I love a good love triangle. To me, it is a good way to test the depths of the character's love for each other, to see if their romance is something that will fade away or last forever. Also, it puts the characters into situations where their true personalities are revealed. What will they choose?
