"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

Teaser Tuesday (52)


Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following!
  • Grab your current read.
  • Open to a random page.
  • Share a few teaser sentences from somewhere on that page.
  • MAKE SURE NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (you don't want to give too much away and ruin the book for other readers)
Share the title and author too, so that other readers can add your book to their TBR list if they like your teaser!

Every Day
by David Levithan
Publication Date: August  28, 2012


         Every day I am someone else.  I am myself–I know I am myself–but I am also someone else.
         It has always been like this.
(Pg. 1)











-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This book is one of David Levithan's best.  It is lyrical and haunting.  It explores what it means to be human and what it means to love.  Existence is caught in the middle, and I can't believe I get to read something so powerful.  It literally knocks the breath out of me.

    Awesome quote. I've seen this book around but hadn't bothered checking out the blurb or any reviews. But now I really want to read it.
