Quote of the Day

"Tammy, is the Terran civilization growing increasingly moribund, cynical, depressed, corrupt, and incompetent?"

"Yes."

"And is our 'educational system' a dumbed-down travesty of retroactive self-serving propaganda, outright denial, and deliberate misinformation all intended to serve our collective self-delusions of progress and moral righteousness?"

"Of course."

- STEVEN ERIKSON, Willful Child: Wrath of Betty, Canada, USA, Europe.

About a hundred pages into this one, and so far it's as much fun as the first one!

I didn't know there was a sequel. I read most of the first on an airplane, and there were some real laugh out loud moments. Seemed more of a journey than destination type of book, so I actually didn't finish it (library book), but felt like I got the gist. Hopefully someday.
