there’s a genre of phrases that sound like they’re from the bible or like paradise lost, but really, really aren’t. like “there are cathedrals everywhere for those with the eyes to see” which is ofc a jordan peterson tweet about a bottle of evian. what are the others?
Me posting my book wrapup last month despite getting bombarded with "how do you do it?" And accusing me of lying and sending d34th threats over achieving my reading goals
AITA for craving garlic bread?
I (26F) was snuggling with my vampire bf (487M) when I suddenly thought of garlic bread. Without me realising, I said "garlic bread would be so good rn" and he ripped himself away from me, saying things like "it's like you want to get rid of me"
I swear the spirit of Emily Brontë must've possessed me cause why did a few nights ago I suddenly had this urge to look up WH and found this old copy (only one available) that's in hardback AND includes critical essays omg?? I'M SO HAPPY
When you finish reading a good book so now you wander around aimlessly and you can't move on to a new book because you think none could make you feel like the previous book did
Although I understand when people say classics are boring (descriptive writing, old language, etc), I still favour classics over newer books bc I think it's cool that these books inspired so many of the things we see/watch/act today
Suggesting a really thick classic book to a beginner is crazy to me, even if the language is simple to digest. If they're not used to classics, don't give them a huge one? It's very intimidating and unhelpful
July Wrapup!!!
I don't know what's in the air but I've been reading nearly everyday since the 10th, finishing 2-3 books per day sometimes lol but I had fun and I've read so much!!
Happy Birthday Franz Kafka! Like it or not, we are so similar in so many ways (both the good and bad). But I hope you're resting peacefully knowing you are so loved all over the world 🫶
