Jesus Christ, Be Polite To Children And Show Them Manners. Fucking Say Excuse Me When You Walk Past Them,

I have about 40 books. Most are unread and/or untouched because I've read them as ebook already. I only purchased them because I like the feeling of finally having them physically. I say the pandemic has greatly impacted my book buying act since I don't get to go to the bookstore always.

Book Discussion

I’m curious, how many books people own that they have not read. most of booklr seems to have a large number from what they’ve said, but my collection seems much smaller (not counting e books, I have around 25).

totally not meant to be judgy, I’m just very curious about how many other people have.

look. i don’t think my stretch marks are beautiful. i don’t think they’re tiger stripes or natural tattooos. i don’t think my acne is beautiful. i don’t think the bags under my eyes are beautiful. i just think they’re human. and i don’t think i have to be beautiful all of the time in order to be accepted and loved and sucessful. i don’t think every small detail of my outer appearence needs to be translated into prettiness.

"The moon had been observing the earth longer than anyone. It must have witnessed all of the phenomena occurring—and all of the acts carried out —on this earth.

But the moon remained silent; it told no stories. All it did was embrace the heavy past with a cool, measured detachment. On the moon there was neither air nor wind. Its vacuum was perfect for preserving memories unscathed. No one could unlock the heart of the moon."

—Haruki Murakami, 1Q84
