Wendelin Van DraanenYou told us over and over that you donโt think you could live without books, but the ironic thing is, youโd probably die before youโd think to rip pages out of one to start a fire. Am I right? Well, get over it already. Better to be warm then well-read.

Wendelin Van DraanenI liked it. I liked her. And every time I saw her, she seemed more beautiful. She just seemed to glow. I'm not talking like a hundred-watt bulb; she just had this warmth to her. Maybe it came from climbing that tree. Maybe it came from singing to chickens. Maybe it came from whacking at two-by-fours and dreaming about perpetual motion. I don't know. All I know is that compared to her, Shelly and Miranda seemed so...ordinary.
