think about the concept of a library. that’s one thing that humanity didn’t fuck up. we did a good thing when we made libraries

except when we burned them.

How and Why We Read: Crash Course English Literature #1

“I’m asking you to read critically because by understanding language you will:

1. Have a fuller understanding of lives other than your own,

2. Will help you to be more empathetic,

3. Help you to avoid getting dumped by that young woman in the first place

4. Reading critically and attentively can give you the linguistic tools to share your own stories with more precision.”

Sometimes I think it’s like I live in a big giant head on a hilltop
made of papier mache, a big giant head of my own head.
I polish the eyes which would be windows, or
mow the lawn, I mean this is my house we’re talking about here
even if it is a big giant papier mache head that looks just like mine.
And people who go past
in cars or buses or see the house the head on the hill from trains
they think the house is me.
I’ll be sleeping there, or polishing the eyes, or weeding the lawn,
but no-one will see me, no-one would look.
And no-one would ever come. And if I waved no-one even knows it was me waving.
They’d all be looking in the wrong place, at the head on the hill.

That awkward moment when an author writes the same word so many times through out the book that she actually add its in her acknowledgements. Please stop it.

My dad on his way to work. He says he’s only taking what’s really important. I wonder, does he work at all? #familyofreaders #booklovers
