I'm Sad Today, So I Bought A Book. I'm Still Sad, But At Least I Have A New Book.

I'm sad today, so i bought a book. I'm still sad, but at least i have a new book.

“are you okay?” no bitch i’ll never experience a passionate romance like the ones you read in books

i just. wanna LIVE. read some BOOKS watch some MOVIES. what's all this abt careers? ambition? what abt LETTING THE SOFT ANIMAL OF UR BODY LOVE WHAT IT LOVES

Isabel Allende, The House of the Spirits originally published 1982

Mary Oliver, from “We Should Be Well Prepared”, Red Bird

you are presented with 2 copies of the same book

the first copy is in tip top condition. a little yellowed, hinting at age, but other than that, there is barely even a crease in the spine. there are no marks, and the owner says that they always keep their books in a book bag when carrying them around.

the second book is battered. absolutely wrecked. it is yellowed, the spine has multiple creases, and there are scriblings in pencil all over every single page, the thoughts of the owner entwined magically with the book forever. there are a few highlighted bits and bookmarked pages.

reblog if the second one is the one that you consider to be a well-loved book :) i just want to see smtg
