paso varios minutos dirigiendo la mirada de las estanterias a sus dedos y de estos a las estanterias. ?Cuantos libros habia tocado? ?Cuantos habia sentido? Se acerco y repitio, esta vez mucho mas despacio, con la palma de la mano extendida para notar el pequeno obstaculo que suponia cada libro. Era magico, era hermoso, era como si todo estuviera iluminado por deslumbrantes rayos de luz reflejados por una lampara de arana. Se vio tentada a s..

really did the research in phases, before, during, and after I'd finished the manuscript. It wasn't until the end of the writing that I went to Munich to check all of my facts, especially little things, like the seasonal habits of apple trees! (Liesel and Rudy's apple-stealing needed to occur in the right month.) I

As the kids dance around the front yard under the night sky and the lights, I see something. Lua and Marie are holding hands. They look like they're so happy, just inside this moment, watching the kids and the lights on their old fibro house. Lua kisses her. Just softly on the lips. And she kisses back. Sometimes people are beautiful. Not in looks. Not in what they say. Just in what they are.

Yes, the Fuhrer decided that he would rule the world with words. "I will never fire a gun," he devised. "I will not have to." Still, he was not rash. Let's allow him at least that much. He was not a stupid man at all. His first plan of attack was to plant the words in as many areas of his homeland as possible."

Duro demais, ate para as presas animalescas de Rudy. Em vez disso, tiveram que alternar chupadelas ate a bala acabar. Dez chupadelas para Rudy. Dez para Liesel. Para la e para ca.

I wanted to tell the book thief many things, about beauty and brutality. But what could I tell her about those things that she didn't already know? I wanted to explain that I am constantly overestimating and underestimating the human race--that rarely do I ever simply estimate it. I wanted to ask her how the same thing could be so ugly and so glorious, and its words and stories so damning and brilliant.

The question is, what color will everything be at that moment when I come for you? What will the sky be saying? Personally, I like a chocolate-colored sky. Dark, dark chocolate. People say it suits me. I do, however, try to enjoy every color I see--the whole spectrum. A billion or so flavors, none of them quite the same, and a sky to slowly suck on.

I imagine I'll crouch there at the door, fall onto him, and cry hard into the stench of his fur. I'll wait for him to wake up, but he won't. I'll bury him. I'll carry him outside, feeling his warmth turn to cold as the horizon frays and falls down in my backyard. For now, though, he's okay. I can see him breathing. He just smells like he's dead.
