p. 137: 'True peace is not merely the absence of some negative force - tension, confusion, or war; it is the presence of some positive force - justice, good will, and brotherhood.'

#MidwinterSolace #LitSolace

It seems so relevant today to quote Martin Luther King for today's #MondayMoments

Happy MLK day.

Happy MLK Day! Thank you Dr.King for being the face of those before you and after you. We do not just celebrate you, but how your work has inspired many and how you been inspired from the people that have come before you. Today we honor not just you but the unnamed folks that continue the fight for equality and justice for all people.

Pickpick

A reading memoir that doesn't talk about novels in terms of plot, character or setting but instead spends time on how they evoke plants, painting, darkness, and so on. And how her reading experiences then shape her own writing. I found it quirky and thought-provoking. It helped that many of the works she discusses are by novelists I also like. (Claire-Louise Bennett, Rachel Cusk, Elena Ferrante, Virginia Woolf).

On Democracy | E. B. White
post image

#weekendreads

I started On Democracy this morning—seemed like an appropriate weekend to read it.

I‘m about halfway through Carousel (#OffMyShelf a book that‘s been on my shelves for 5yrs or more), and should finish it this afternoon.

And I plan to read at least one story in Ward No. 6 (#OffMyShelf essays or short stories).

Suet624 On Democracy will make you nostalgic. It‘s time to read On Oligarchy. 😳😭 2d
