A review by calebmatthews
The Midnight Library by Matt Haig
5.0
Easily the best book I’ve read this year.
Carey Mulligan on the audiobook is fantastic.
What an excellent read. I highly recommend this to any human who has ever felt regret, felt alive, or felt.
This could be my new favorite book.
Second read through and I am still loving this book!
Midnight Library
Regrets disappearing from the Book of Regrets
Death is the opposite of possibility
It was a good choice, it just wasn’t a desired outcome
Depressed fish
Never underestimate the big importance of small things
Tree of Life speech
Dunbar’s number: 150 people
Not wanting to die—polar bear
Fire poem — fire doesn’t have motivation, it just is. You have the power
There is no rejection, only redirection. –Ryan Bailey
It seems impossible to live without hurting people. (Well, in fairness, dying hurts people too.)
A pawn is a queen in waiting
Norah realizes she can be honest because people take away what they need from the interaction. “It’s not what you look at, it’s what you see.”
The prison is not the place but the perspective.
