quotes Elisquared likes


"Saying 'I notice you're a nerd' is like saying, 'Hey, I notice that you'd rather be intelligent than be stupid, that you'd rather be thoughtful than be vapid, that you believe that there are things that matter more than the arrest record of Lindsay Lohan. Why is that?' In fact, it seems to me that most contemporary insults are pretty lame. Even 'lame' is kind of lame. Saying 'You're lame' is like saying 'You walk with a limp.' Yeah, whatever, so does 50 Cent, and he's done all right for himself."— John Green

Waiting on Wednesday (32)


Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly meme, hosted at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we seriously can’t wait for.

 Here's my pick for the week, that I seriously can't wait for:


Publication Date: May 22, 3012

WHAT IS OLDEST WILL BE NEW, WHAT IS LOST SHALL BE FOUND. 

The ozone is ravaged, ocean levels have risen, and the sun is a daily enemy. But global climate change is not something new in the Earth’s history.

No one will know this better than less-than-ordinary Owen Parker, who is about to discover that he is the descendant of a highly advanced ancient race—a race that took their technology too far and almost destroyed the Earth in the process.

Now it is Owen’s turn to make right in his world what went wrong thousands of years ago. If Owen can unlock the lost code in his very genes, he may rediscover the forgotten knowledge of his ancestry…and that less-than-ordinary can evolve into extraordinary.
-------------------------------------------------
A dystopian mixed with mythology?  Yes please!  I love myths and stories about Atlantis, and this seems like a really fresh take on it.  I can't wait to get my hands on a copy of this!

    I'm not really sure about whether I want to read this one... it sounds really unique and intriguing, but not like something I'd usually like. Maybe I'll have to wait for a few reviews first. Awesome pick though! :)

    Sounds very intriguing- I enjoy dystopian books where people have to find out where they came from- they are usually pretty decent!

    This sounds like a great read! We've been studying the environmental problems in depth in one of my classes. Plus, having secrets in genetic coding sounds pretty darn awesome. Added to be tbr list. Thanks for this great find!
