Bookish Insanity

Her soul belongs to words and books. Every time she reads, she is home.

Reblog if you’re a booklr & over 18 years old

I adore ALL my booklr loves, of course. But I’m feeling rather isolated in the “adult” category (I’m clearly using the term ‘adult’ very loosely). Signal boost so we can find each other!?!

Today I visited my absolutely favorite place in this city.

i love that charles dickens got paid by the word. like i cant even be mad when he’s boring and long-winded bc i would do xactly the same??? i wouldnt use contractions or colours at all. want to say the word red? too bad. we r now only using “the colour of freshly-spilled blood on snow; the hue of the horizon when the sun sets over the deserts of sub-saharan Africa” BOOM guess who can afford 2 eat now: me and my boi dickens

What I love about Alexandre Dumas, in contrast, is he got paid by the line. So it’s not really wordy, it more like 80% dialogue which makes it sound pretty modern but also ends up like-

“Where are we going now?”

“We are going to the city.”

“Which city?”

“Paris.”

“We are going to Paris?”

“Yes.”

# can you imagine the kind of extended torture we would have been subject to if victor hugo had been paid by the pun (via vlajean)

So was Nabokov paid by the literary/cultural reference? That’s what I want to know. 

[incorrectdiscworldquotes]

Terry Pratchett was paid by the pun and by the footnote
