Idag har jag pratat med en kompis som ska låta mig låna en bok av henne: Heroes, av Joe Abercrombie.
Det ser jag verkligen fram emot efter som jag läst alla hans andra underbara böcker.

Joe Abercrombie är en av mina absoluta favorit författare och hans sadistiska karaktärer och språk gör att min hud knottrar mig bara jag tänker på att läsa hans underbara verk.

Några av mina favorit citat från hans böcker är:
“I have learned all kinds of things from my many mistakes. The one thing I never learn is to stop making them.”

“Honour, eh? What the hell is that anyway? Every man thinks it's something different. You can't drink it. You can't fuck it. The more of it you have the less good it does you, and if you've got none at all you don't miss it.”

“Fearlessness is a fool's boast, to my mind. The only men with no fear in them are dead, or the soon to be dead, maybe. Fear teaches you caution, and respect for your enemy, and to avoid sharp edges used in anger. All good things in their place, believe me. Fear can bring you out alive, and that's the very best anyone can hope for from any fight. Every man who's worth a damn feels fear. It's the use you make of it that counts.”
