“Bulgakov's masterpiece is one of the great novels of the 20th century — funny, terrifying, and beautiful.”
“Shakespeare understood human nature better than any psychologist. Hamlet is proof.”
“Douglas Adams showed us that science fiction could be philosophy disguised as comedy. 42 is still the answer.”
“Card's masterpiece explores what we do to children in the name of necessity — and whether any end justifies those means.”
“Magical realism at its finest. García Márquez proved that imagination and truth are not opposites.”

“You can still order one of the trade editions of Little, Big. It’s one of the most beautiful books I’ve held. It’s the most readable edition of this classic and important book ever published. There are a few hundred left and then they will be gone. They ship in January.”
“It's an astonishingly beautiful trilogy of books.”
