Dave Eggers

Dave Eggers

Dave Eggers
Every time I get through the work on a book of nonfiction, I say I'll never do it again it takes so much out of you.
Dave Eggers
Better to be at the bottom of a ladder you want to climb than in the middle of some ladder you don’t, right?
Dave Eggers

Dave Eggers
