The first sip of beer on a hot day is like that first finger-dip when you open a new jar of peanut butter.
Harlan CobenThe most annoying and full- of- crap thing a writer says is, I write only for myself, I don't care if anyone reads it. A writer without a reader doesn't exist.
Harlan CobenThe state of New Jersey is really two places - terrible cities and wonderful suburbs.
