Joyland in the Bookshop

↑Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by J.K. Rowling

“Some of us, I imagine, write out of anger; some out of pain; some write out of prejudice or loss, some out of passion, the promise of something better, perhaps the belief that—even now—a book can be capable of changing a life. Some of us write to remember, some to forget; some to change things, some to ensure things stay the same. Some of us—as my editor and agent will all too easily testify—write because we cannot stop.” ~R.J. Ellory

“If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking.” ~Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood
