Welcome to my Library.  This is a collection of notes and quotes from books I've read--real paper books, typed out the quotes myself.  The quotes I've found online are here.  I've been taking notes on books since seventh grade and I've now been out of high school for six years.  I have a tendency to keep reading instead of typing, so I have a 96-book backlog so updates will be sporadic but when they happen, they will be big.

Update, November 18, 2008: Added seven new books. Hopscotch by Kevin J. Anderson; The City of Ember by Jeanne DuPrau; The Dragon's Son by Margaret Weiss; and the so-far entire Uglies series by Scott Westerfield: Uglies, Pretties, Specials, and Extras. Enjoy!
