“it’s important sometimes to be remembered what you lived for rather than what you died for” 

TJ’s books are always stacked with quotable sentences and paragraphs. I could spend all day reading his novels because I know I will get something out of each one of them. At face value you wouldn’t think a story about an alien girl with a bodyguard and an unsuspecting accomplice could hit you where it hurts and remind you of the fragility of humanity. But TJ has a way of constantly melding fantasy and concepts beyond the scope of our usual brain chemistry, with very real characters and very real situations (for the most part). A stunning work of art.
