My Year Abroad - Chang-rae Lee

I read this book, and it was okay! It was about a student who works for someone who he looks up to and in the end turns out to be a crook or something.

"And that's when I realized that loving someone was basically, simply, this: to be the fuel for her depletions."

"It is often difficult to live just one life."

"A handful of extraordinary people come up with world-tilting ideas, but the rest of us, the 99.99 percent, we simply orbit."

"We're engineered with an ever-ready PTSD, maybe because surviving usually means suffering."
