‘And by the way, whatever happened to your mother?’
‘She died,’ I replied.
‘Died? What of?’
‘I don’t know really. Sadness, maybe. She sighed a lot.’
‘That’s bad. Every sigh is like a drop of your life being swallowed up.’
I loved what I read and I didn’t think I’d get intimidated by the size, for how busy my life is at the moment it’s just a bit too much commitment for me.

I seem fated to pass through the world without colliding with it or moving it - and I can’t tell whether the fate’s good or evil. I don’t die - I don’t fall in love. And if other people die or fall in love they always do it when I’m not there.

For a moment we are bedazzled by an intense emotion. A pleasant warmth grows within us, fading slowly as time goes by, until a new explosion comes along to revive it. Each person has to discover what will set off these explosions in order to live, since the combustion that occurs when one of them is ignited is what nourishes the soul.

I’m not a religious person but I do sometimes think God made you for me.
As a first year uni student that studies English I found there to be something so comforting about this. The plot isn’t overly exciting but for the first time in my life I feel like I’m reading a book about people who feel like they could actually be real, if that makes sense. The way the act, talk, think and feel, none of it feels fictional but rather authentic to a point that I find it to be scary but also incredibly comforting. People aren’t perfect, instead they are all incredibly flawed and that’s okay.

Read this in order to do a Marxist analysis on it for uni and have in the process become a proud member of the Raoul hate club

I have a feeling this series isn't going to be at all good, but it's so addictive to read.
The best story but far was Count Me The Ways and my favourite character from the entire collection is the freddy in the same story, all the human characters were insufferable.
