The Humans by Matt Haig
5.0
"As a black hole forms it creates an immense gamma-ray burst, blinding whole galaxies with light and destroying millions of worlds. You could disappear at any second. This on. Or this. Or this one. Make sure, as often as possible, you are doing something you'd be happy to die doing."
I really don't know what to say about this book. All I know is that this is my new favourite book.
I. LOVE. THIS. BOOK.
I have never felt this way about a book before. I have never gotten this excited by a book before (unless it's in a series with characters that I already love. For me to get this excited this over a standalone is a pretty big deal for me), I've never gotten this emotional over a book. A book has never spoken to me like this book did.
And it was funny too, jeez.
I can't even describe it, I just... I'll end with a quote that stuck with me for some reason. I don't even know why, I just like it.
"The scattering of light over a long distance creates a sunset. The crashing of ocean waves on a beach is created by tides which are themselves the result of gravitational forces exerted by the sun and the moon and the rotation of Earth. Those are causes. The mystery lies in how those things become beautiful."
