My favorite part from this book:
“You have no faith in the essential decency of the white man’s culture. Jesus, just one hour ago we were sitting over there in that stinking baiginio, stone broke and paralyzed for the weekend, when a call comes through from some total stranger...

What a drug collection...
"We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers …

I'm just stitting in front of my laptop trying to prepare my presentation for thursday, but I'm influenced by this McDonalds pop-up ad that calls my name and says that I just need this perfect veggieburger. The water literally runs into my mouth and it gets hard to study #A525

I didn't know that woman and man have different roles in kissing... #A525

When I came across page 15, I was so impressed by Frank Miller's creative and clever panel layout that I felt I had to share it. #A525

...DeLillo not only paraphrases, he captures the big picture and asks " challenging " questions about the fragility of our world, no matter how modern and technical it may be. #A525

"White Noise" not only tells a particularly touching story in its very own way and creates a portrait of an extraordinary family. Rather, he gives us the opportunity to take a look behind the scenes... #A525
