People with dark souls have nothing but dark dreams. People with really dark souls do nothing but dream'.

I come from a dizzy land where the lottery is the basis of reality.

Labyrinths by Jorge Luis Borges

And it was during this period that Madeleine truly understood how the lover’s discourse was of an extreme solitude. The solitude was extreme because it wasn’t physical. It was extreme because you felt it while in the company of the person you loved. It was extreme because it was in your head, that most solitary of places.

Envy is a horrible thing. It is unlike all other kinds of suffering in that there is no disguising it, no elevating it into tragedy. It is more than merely painful, it is disgusting.

-Burmese Days by George Orwell

It is not the less bitter because it is perhaps one’s own fault, to see oneself drifting, rotting in dishonor and horrible futility, and all the while knowing that somewhere within one there is the possibility of decent human being.

The Sepperkanniversary!

I'm Sepi, the less Sepperky one. There are two of us you see,

the bookworm Sepi (Black Kitty) and the less bookwormi-wishing-as-hell-she-was-a-book-worm Sepi. 

I used to read a lot when I was younger, and good books also under the influence of my awesome sister. I think I read Kafka's The Castle when I was 14 or something and it changed me forever.As long as I was living with my sister in our parents home I had access to her amazing library and occasionally when Internet wasn't poisoning my time I'd crawl to her and ask her for a book.

However I grew up and we moved out. I tried so hard to start reading again but now I didn't have that library in reach anymore or anyone to recommend me books. So after struggling with this unfulfilled desire, and being aware of Sepi's book addiction, I bought a kindle, best gift I've ever given myself.

We started Sepperks, last year around this time. This is sorta like my annual report!

-----> Books I read (14): The perks of being a wallflower, The stranger, The Fountainhead, A Game of Thrones, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Hobbit (again), The Master and Margarita, The Great Gatsby, The Picture of Dorian Grey, The Importance of being Earnest, Anna and the French Kiss, 1984, Animal Farm, The Catcher in the Rye

-----> Books I'm reading (5): The Burmese Days, This side of Paradise, Hamlet, Naked Lunch, De Profundis

-----> Books I started but probably never finish (1): A Clash of Kings

Making a total of 14/20 books!

Which books will remain with me forever, I have to go with The Fountainhead, The Master and Margarita and To Kill a Mockingbird.

Which books I would try to finish asap, Burmese Days (only a few chapters left anyways) Hamlet and Naked Lunch

So as to my GOALS! I wanna double this amount! I wanna make my total to 40. I wanna start with Dostoyevsky books (preferably The Brothers Karamazov and The Idiot) and Shakespeare and I wanna finish the Perky list! I'm so grateful for Sepperks, this was the best thing I did for myself this (last) year!

As for being poisoned by a book, there is no such a thing as that. Art has no influence upon action. It annihilates the desire to act. It is superbly sterile. The books that the world calls immoral are the books that show the world its own shame. That is all.
