Ogni volta che la gente si lamenta dicendo che “in questo libro non succede niente”, una parte di me muore. In questo libro si cresce, come in ogni romanzo di formazione che si rispetti. James è un disadattato, asociale, altezzoso ma idiota - come tanti adolescenti, come lo ero io alla sua età. E anche se la vita va avanti anche quando non vuoi che cambi, non è scontato capire cosa si vuole. Insomma, ha solo 18 anni,  come fa a sapere cosa vorrà nella vita? Come fa a sapere cosa gli servirà?
(Terza rilettura, ogni volta è bello come la prima volta)

me, holding up the catcher in the rye and someday this pain will be useful to you: my birkin, another birkin; but what makes these two birkins different? and what small feature about them divides the hermès collector community? let's talk about it.
