"Talent is a wonderful thing, but it won't carry a quitter. " 
 This was the first ever book I read by Stephen King at the age of 11. An old, battered, hardcover copy that I got from my mom. 
 "People don't get better, they just get smarter. When you get smarter you don't stop pulling the wings off flies, you just think of better reasons for doing it." 
 Carrie is a book filled with injustice, gory scenes and kickass-rage. I love it! After I finished the book I went on and reread it straight away. For a 11 year old who barely could read at the time, that was something huge. Today, I might have read it about 5 times.
