Last night, in my first run of self-inflicted nasal obstructed sleeping, my
snoring increased by 1,300 percent, to 75 minutes through the night. Olsson’s
numbers were even worse. He went from zero to four hours, ten minutes. I’d also
suffered a fourfold increase in sleep apnea events. All this, in just 24 hours.

Otis Chandler liked a quote
“Then it was that the thought of death burst into my daily life. I would measure
the years separating me from my end. I would look for examples of men of my age
who were already dead. And I was tormented by the thought that I might not have
time to accomplish my task. What task? I had no idea. Frankly, was what I was
doing worth continuing?”

Otis Chandler and 1 other person liked Louise's review of The Survivalists:

"What did I just read? I loved the setup. Black survivalists in Brooklyn and a
dude obsessed with coffee beans all scream “read me!” But wow that middle part
was long and rambling. I ended up skipping whole paragraphs because I was tired

I read this with my 11 year old, and what a beautiful book! You don't know what
you are missing until you experience it. Colors, family, love, beauty - our
lives create emotional ups and downs, but that makes them beautiful.

Jennifer Egan shared a note from
The Candy House
by Jennifer Egan (Goodreads Author)
See all Jennifer’s notes and highlights for this book
Beloved Reader!! Thank you, in advance, for reading THE CANDY HOUSE. Before you
start, I want to say one crucial thing: There is ABSOLUTELY NO NEED to keep
track, as you read, of every person and relationship in this book!!! There are
many characters, and they intersect in lots of ways, but it's not a memory
exercise or a matching game. Think of these relationships as you would an
extended family not your own: You can meet someone and know you've met them
before, but you don't need to recall where you met, or when, to enjoy the
conversation. Each chapter stands on its own and has no Beloved Reader!! Thank
you, in advance, for reading THE CANDY HOUSE. Before you start, I want to say
one crucial thing: There is ABSOLUTELY NO NEED to keep track, as you read, of
every person and relationship in this book!!! There are many characters, and
they intersect in lots of ways, but it's not a memory exercise or a matching
game. Think of these relationships as you would an extended family not your own:
You can meet someone and know you've met them before, but you don't need to
recall where you met, or when, to enjoy the conversation. Each chapter stands on
its own and has no need of the others to be understood. The point is FUN, not
WORK. That's why I didn't include a "cast list" at the begining of THE CANDY
HOUSE: doing so would suggest that I expect you to keep track of everyone, and I
do not!! Keeping track is work--who needs it? I want you to have fun. Thank you,
again and always, for reading. I am honored and in your debt. Jennnifer Egan

OTIS’S QUOTES

“The story so far:
In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad
move.”
― Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe
tags: humor, scifi
23060 likes

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings
total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and
through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
― Frank Herbert, Dune

“Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up
and hurry off as if nothing had happened.”
― Winston S. Churchill

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man
stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit
belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust
and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and
again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does
actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great
devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the
end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least
fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and
timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
― Theodore Roosevelt
tags: inspirational, politics, presidential

“Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to reform
(or pause and reflect).”
― Mark Twain
