"...that's what a book should do.  It should tie you up, make you think, make you feel extra happy and sorrowful, extra nervous and bold.  It must be dream laden, scheme sodden, soul shaking.  And it must do all of this as mysteriously as a left-handed curveball coming at your head, twisting and spinning, and making you duck until, at the very end, it magically crosses home plate with such grace and command that it humbles, crumbles, and amazes you."
