I liked the way this was constructed. It's not my typical type of book but it's nice to get out of my comfort zone every once in a while.
Un livre coup de poing, une réflexion importante sur la vie, son sens et notre place en ce monde. Un court éclat de vérité qui bouleverse et pousse à remettre tout en question, un de ces rares livres qui devrait se trouver sur toutes les étagères...
Constantly re-read this book in high school. I still remember many of the excerpts from the Messiah's Handbook. “You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it come true. You may have to work for it, however.” “There is no such thing as a problem without a gift for you in its hands. You seek problems because you need their gifts.” And many more.
“If you will practice being fictional for a while, you will understand that fictional characters are sometimes more real than people with bodies and heartbeats.”
“Live never to be ashamed if anything you do or say is published around the world – even if what is published is not true.”
An eh-ish book. Interesting ideas, but not glorious or life-changing whatsoever. All it really did was make me want to learn to fly a plane.
