there’s something so intimate and satisfying about getting wholly immersed in a story for hours and hours.
on a related note, the unabridged paperback edition of les misérables is so long that if you attempt to bring it on a plane, the TSA scanner will flag it as a suspicious object and they’ll search your backpack by hand. just in case anyone was wondering

Much sexier and more mysterious to be seen with a small book than a regular sized book. Make them wonder what the heck that is

Most of my time is spent waiting for the minutes to pass, and I've grown fond of whipping out a book when it's slow at work, or when I'm waiting for a friend in the car, or in the clinic waiting room waiting for my name to be called, etc. I've finished my 2023 reading goal, and now I keep the shortest book I own in my purse wherever I go. I switch it from time to time, but it's always Annie Ernaux: The Possession or Simple Passion. :)
"Since I’ve started carrying a book everywhere, even to something like the Academy Awards, I’ve had a much easier time of it, and the bitterness that shortens your life has been headed off at the pass by the wonderful Paperback. Light, fitting easily into most purses, the humble paperback has saved a lot of relationships for me that would have ended in bloodshed." - Eve Babitz, Slow Days, Fast Company: The World, The Flesh and L.A

i was in washington DC last month and the whole time i was in awe of how much art and history and science and culture you could just go and experience completely for free. i paid $0 to go in look at this beautiful painting that could’ve been sold to some rich guy for a jillion dollars instead. i often feel like everything is out to squeeze everything out of me that it can so i really value that we have things that exist just to enrich our minds and souls
