love books. because it’s like what if something happened

[petaltexturedskies]

September approaching…I feel I owe myself a brief respite of leisure and no rushing around.

Sylvia Plath, in a letter to Aurelia Plath written c. August 1951, from Letters Home: Correspondence 1950-1963

“Buying books is immensely comforting. Maybe I won’t read them immediately, but they make me feel so much better whenever I’m sad and blue. Just their presence, it’s like having more to look forward to.”

[tomesandtash]

Sometimes I just stare at my books from across the room and it makes me feel better

[septemberkisses]

the fact that i'm no longer the same age as the protagonists of novels and films i once connected to is so heartbreaking. there was a time when I looked forward to turning their age. i did. and i also outgrew them. i continue to age, but they don't; never will. the immortality of fiction is beautiful, but cruel.

“Sometimes when I'm in a bookstore or library, I am overwhelmed by all the things that I do not know. Then I am seized by a powerful desire to read all the books, one by one.”

― Arthur C Clarke

book dedications are so tender here is this piece of art i made for an audience of thousands. but really every word is for you

[edwardian-masquerade]

"Be with me always - take any form - drive me mad! only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you! Oh, God! it is unutterable! I can not live without my life! I can not live without my soul!"

-Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights

[academia-lucifer]

What really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn't happen much, though.

— J.D. Salinger.

bilf (book i'd like to finish)

[wisflight]

I’m a sucker for characters whose histories are so intertwined that they know each other too well and it often hurts too much. It gets me every damn ime

[stuckinapril]

nothing feels holier than picking up a book after a long time of not reading. it’s seriously like meeting w an old friend. i want to lose myself in those pages

[dark-romantics]

[sincerelylochness]

You can never read a book for the first time again, but you can pick it up a million times after and fully reread it, or just your favorite scenes, and find home and comfort in its pages. Maybe you'll notice new things and maybe you won't, but those characters will always be there for you if you need them. And that's kind of beautiful.

[silvermoonshinesilknight-deacti]

I read. Obsessively. Because, when I read, there is purpose to my loneliness.

[brunetttebabydoll]

the feminine urge to stay in bed and read all day

[hungwy]

i come back from a book and its like how the hell are you people just going on like this. didnt you read the book with me. how is the real world so disconnected from the whole book world i just experienced
