"…Her body had grown older, but her mind was still trapped at 16, still unsure of how to act and how to be, she loved hatcher, but it was a girl's love for her savior. For those of you that are into the horror genre, this is and who like Alice in Wonderlands, this is actually a pretty good book.…"

"…If every human feeling that sighs or smiles or curses or shrieks or groans should bring all their innumerable images such as come with every hurried heartbeat, the epic which held them all, though its letters filled the zodiac back, would be but a cupful from the infinite ocean of similitudes and analogies that rolls through the universe. Thanks for the challenge. This is awesome.…"

"…You. Thanks for sharing, and I really appreciate you participating. I had to look this book up because, I mean, what you were reading to me, which just sounded bonkers to me, and it's interesting. Have you read the entire book? Apparently, it was written in 1857, and it's a one sided conversation by the person. The narrator is unknown, and he's talking to the autocrat, the dictator, about everything and some random things.…"

I'm afraid I haven't made a lot of progress with the book, but I shall read out the first paragraph that I see on the page. You so here goes. You'll be the Duke someday, son, his father said. A Mentat Duke would be formidable indeed.…"

"…If you are struggling to commit to a relationship because your last one was difficult, you need to remember that your previous one does not define you. The weighting of that may be too heavy in your feedback loop, inhibiting your ability to judge the new relationship on its merits. We need to think about why we feel a certain way, whether that is uncertain or overcome confident, and try to locate the root of that emotion in the previous experiences that have filled our memory banks and conditioned our feedback loops.…"

"…You, Ramya. Thank you so much for participating. You know, Dune is one of those books that I have tried over and over again to read and get through. I mean, I like fantasy. I like sci-fi. I like high, high fantasy. I just can't can't get through. Dune can't get through the first, like, first hundred pages. Yeah. So I cannot totally understand and relate that you haven't really gotten far for whatever reason it might be.…"

"…Yes, sir, Mr. Jordan. I am on it. I love it. Okay, so I got my little kindle over here and it is I'm I've been reading who Is this? By Dolly Alderton. It is a memoir called Everything I Know about Love. And I will take a picture of that and include it. Um, it so far has been brilliant. To tell you the truth. I really like her writing style. So let me see.…"
