What book are you reading right now?

[AvsJoe]

Just finished: 'Salem's Lot by Stephen King.
Now Reading: I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell by Tucker Max and Inventory by various A.V. Club authors.
Up next: Either The Iliad by Homer or Breaking Dawn by Stephanie Meyer. This is not a joke and I truly am split between the two.

I was reading, The Name of the Wind and Cyrano de Bergerac, but I finished both of them (the latter is a play, actually.). They were both amazing, with The Name of the Wind having a quote that I will always remember.

Which quote? its got plenty of them and it's an amazing book?

Indeed it does.

"It's like everyone tells a story about themselves inside their own head. Always. All the time. That story makes you what you are. We build ourselves out of that story...You meet a girl: shy, unassuming. If you tell her she's beautiful, she'll think you're sweet, but she won't believe you. She knows that beauty lies in your beholding. And sometimes that is enough. But there's a better way. You show her she is beautiful. You make mirrors of your eyes, prayers of your hands. It is hard, very hard, but when she truly believes you..... Suddenly the story she tells herself in her own head changes. She transforms. She isn't seen as beautiful. She is beautiful, seen."
