This Week in Reading #5

The Overachievers by Alexandra Robbins

This week: 155 pages
Last week: 180 pages
Total: 1,007 pages

Favorite Sentences and/or Passages of the Month! (in no particular order):

1: "The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed." The Gunslinger


2: "The stars were as indifferent to this as they were to wars, crucifixions, resurrections." The Gunslinger  

3: "May we meet again on the path, before we all meet in the clearing. . ." The Gunslinger 


4: "When one quests for the Dark Tower, Time is a matter of no concern at all." The Gunslinger

Out of all these quotes, the winner would have to be #4. It's like a metaphor, where the Dark Tower can represent any large barrier that one needs to overcome to reach their end-goal. And when working to overcome this goal, you should move slowly and carefully. After all, slow and steady wins the race. Or so said the turtle, anyway. . .
