Additional quotes by Jonathan Lethem

The thing about this bookshelf is that each of these books is a vast experience unto itself, while also being both self-contained and superbly useless. Reading any one of them doesn't get you anywhere particularly meaningful; you haven't arrived or graduated; you've just gone and done something that passed the time. It's like taking a long walk with a friend who's got a lot to say. There's not cumulative purpose to it - it's just an excellent way to waste your life.

Drei Stunden lang war ich immun gewesen gegen gegen das beschämende Hochgefühl des Überlebenden, das mich manchmal bei Beerdigungen überkommt, diese schwindelerregende, schuldbewusste Erkenntnis des eigenen Glücks, weiter fressen, ficken und scheißen zu können, die Zeit mit dem Hin- und Herzappen zwischen Kabelkanälen verschwenden zu dürfen oder halb mit Kugelschreiber ausgefüllte Kreuzworträtsel in die Ecke zu pfeffern, also so ziemlich alles zu tun, außer dazusitzen und das Andenken eines anderen zu ehren, dessen Glück zu Ende war.
