The idea for the bookmark was to take a nice memorable first line off an awesome book, type it in a strip of muslin cloth, fasten the ends of the fabric with metal clasps and attach a charm and a feather. Tadaaa!
But then I made one that didn't follow that rule. The Hunter S. Thompson quote was just too good, I had to make a bookmark for it.
"I am a sick man...I am a spiteful man."
- Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Notes from Underground
"All this happened, more or less."
- Kurt Vonnegut Jr., Slaughterhouse-Five
"If I am out of my mind, it's alright with me."
- Saul Bellow, Herzog
"It was like so, but wasn't."
- Richard Powers, Galatea 2.2
"The real people wanted no part of me."
- Hunter S. Thompson, The Rum Diary
