I literally chose difficult studies (one of the most difficult courses in my country) to go beyond my limits, and I have the audacity to complain when it's actually beyond my limits.
Remember when I said in high school that I wanted to do a difficult degree to push my limits? I take back everything I said, let me sleep and have a social life.
Reading the art of getting by is having your heart crushed at each sentences but keep going because the writting is too beatiful.
How the author can make you cry with only five Words ???
Anyway go read it if you enjoy suffering(a lot)
On the booktok there is this huge thing of "don't damage the books". And the whole "never break your spine" "no dog-eared page" thing pisses me off so much. Since I was a child I learned that the more the book is damaged the more we like it. And reading old books, I saw which page was read again and again. I want to see that the book had gone to the beach even if that means the page is crumpled. Books are literally a part of our lives, so it's only normal for them to look worn down from life.
I specifically remember this book when I was 8yo , Inkeart where the main character Meggie talk a lot about this and I think it has greatly influenced my way of being a reader (since I read this book I always keep my reading of the moment under my pillow)
Reading jjk new chapter and seeing the new episode in a row was the biggest mistake I’ve ever made. Now I’m just going to cry for few hours…
Crying in front of mechanics or mathematics was not my idea of how I was going to spend my evenings as a university student…
More alcohol and fewer theorems would be better
So happy to have had Babel for Christmas. I already have the American edition so I can compare the translations, and I can't wait to see how the translator has adapted the meaning of the words in the French version!
And above all, I can't wait to meet the characters again. Babel is the book that really made an impression on me in 2023, and I literally quote it in all my French essays.
It's only been two days since I returned to class and I'm already behind on work? Like how?
I literally do everything to be miserable. I have no survival instinct it's dramatic
