there is truly nothing better than bringing home a pile of books home with you, and not knowing if you’ll read em all, skim some maybe, return them just to take them out again. my current check outs are down the drain by Julia Fox, Crash by J.G Ballard, and how to murder your life by Cat Marnell

i usually find myself in reading ruts when i’m taking classes and being assigned books or when i’m trying to keep up with new releases and the “smart” books that are usually dense and long. i can usually get myself out of this rut by picking out a book that looks fun to me, like a book set on a beach or something I loved in middle school. I’m reading From The Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler right now and it’s just FUN!!! I also am very much not someone who feels like they have to finish a book. Life is too short. I think that helps!

If you start reading again, you'll feel better. If you read in an omnivorous and far flung manner your days will get better. You will have more to say and more to think about. You can become an evangelical for reading from a place of pure desire and care. Unusual books contain unusual knowledge.
I will post books as an act of human class solidarity. Most posts will include a link to a digital copy, but you will love going to the library. We are lucky to get to hold books in our hands.

One thing in life I will never feel guilty about is having a big pile of unread books... Never feel bad for buying more books when you have loads you haven't read, that's called building a library!! Collecting your books is the project of a lifetime.

i don’t want to have a “thick skin” about everything, maybe we should all just be nicer to each other. when did we come up with the concept that being sensitive is bad? i’m sensitive and i like it. the world doesn’t have to hit me and i just get back up, maybe i will cry a little bit.

i recently bought Lordes ‘Pure Heroine’ on cd and forgot how much i love the album. i was driving and watching the sky and pretending it was 2015 again, i had tumblr, wattpad, damaging my eyes by reading from a blue screen far too late while under blankets. i was reminded of being sad in a different way at a different age.
