Books made me more human

I know right now I'm in my own reality, which made me wonder if all these things really are true. Following Alice in her adventure made me think how wild our minds could get, and at the same time how this world is weird but wonderful that sometimes being inside a dream or reality (?) won't matter.

Disgrace | J. M. Coetzee

"The men will watch the newspapers, listen to the gossip. They will read that they are being sought for robbery and assault and nothing else. It will be dawn on them that over the body of the woman silence is being drawn like a blanket. Too ashamed, they will say to each other, too ashamed to tell, and they will chuckle luxuriously, recollecting their exploit. Is Lucy prepared to concede them that victory? "

The Lovely Bones | Alice Sebold

It's been years since I've watched the film, and I really loved it. And so when I saw a copy in a pre-loved store, I can't stop myself from buying it ❤️ Starting my semestral break with her life and after life.

I've always loved the smell of an old book. Who knows who else read this 😊

The Taming of the Shrew | William Shakespeare

I don't know if I should laugh or if I should be sad. Should men always be superior over women?

I don't want this book to end, but sadly I've reached the last few lines. It was a great experience reading her story, which seemed like I was there with her conquering every mountain, desert, and snow. A really inspiring book that every lost mind should have.

todd Such a wonderful and sad place to be with a book, the unwanted end. 8y

"Infinite" made me feel a lot of things, especially how happy Charlie was while "participating."

The Shining | Stephen King
post image

Danny is a gifted child who has the ability to perceive the future, or the thoughts of another person. This ability was only natural for him until Tony, the "imaginary friend," shows him the history behind the Overlook Hotel.
Maybe,The Shining is the only way to know how to keep his family safe.

Truly a masterpiece that proved itself to be timeless.

After a long long long stressful finals preparation, I am finally able to read a book to spend the start of my sem break. Excited to read and explore more about the "Richie Rich" kind of world.

William S. and the Great Escape | Zilpha Keatley Snyder

I was so into the adventure of these young kids that I forgot I was in a public vehicle and disturbing the other passengers with my flashlight. Hahaha

A great book! I saw and felt what it was like wanting a different kind of life than your family and sometimes it would really push you to leave.

Room: A Novel | Emma Donoghue
post image

"I've read it too many times."

"But when I want something I want it always, like chocolates, I never ate a chocolate too many times."

After reading Room I wanted to see things the way a child can see it. Simple but still valued. Being able to appreciate all the things around us. Being innocent.
