- Louise Glück

The academics

Nowadays. there are so many subcultures and I must say I like the academics the most. We all are in one way or another smart and strive for knowledge. We appreciate languages and cultures and all the classics. We relate to each other. And somehow we all just want to sit in an armchair with a cup of tea and read our novel. And that is why I feel like this oldfashioned comunity is the best.

"Autumn embraces all that falls."

You are allowed

nay, encouraged to…

buy books you’ll never read

abandon books halfway through

read your favorites over and over again

read ‘easy’ books

read books you don’t totally understand

just look at the pictures

start in the middle

take notes

break spines

read the book after you saw the movie

skip the boring parts

keep books out of sentiment

bring a book everywhere

read comics

return books to the library unread

The point, my dear reader, is joy.

And so being young and dipped in folly I fell in love with melancholy.

Edgar Allan Poe, Romance 1831

I'm once again fighting the urge to fake my death and move to a small city and open a little florist shop or cafe filled with books

Fall is getting nearer and nearer which means it’s almost socially acceptable to watch over the garden wall and obsess over it again

Another language I wish I knew, Latin, to inspire.

— another rainy day...

This ain't getting better, Or is it?
