this dudebro in my english class said that ophelia deserved to die because “she led hamlet on” and my teacher threw her book against the wall

your teacher’s aim sucks

So I went to Hobbiton and took a picture of my fifty year old copy of the book. No big deal. I mean, it’s in front of Bag End, but no big deal.

O.O

reasons why john green is my favorite

preach. 

“I don’t care any more about the handsome wealthy boys who come gingerly into the living room to take out the girl they thought would look nice in an evening cocktail dress… I said I wanted to go out with them to meet new people. I ask you, what logic is there in that? What guy you would like, would see the depths in a girl outwardly like all the other physical american queenies? So why go places with guys you can’t talk to? You’ll never meet a soul that way—-not the sort you want to meet. Better to stay in your garret reading than go from one party to another. Face it, kid: unless you can be yourself, you won’t stay with anyone for long. You’ve got to be able to talk. That’s tough. But spend your nights learning, so you’ll have something to say. Something the ‘attractive intelligent man’ will want to listen to.” -Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

This just reminded me of that.

this reminds me of the scene in catcher in the rye

“you know those ducks in that lagoon right near central park south? that little lake? by any chance, do you happen to know where they go, the ducks, when its gets all frozen over? do you happen to know, by any chance?”

Blunt the knives and bend the forks!
Smash the bottles and burn the corks!
Chip the glasses and crack the plates!
That’s what Bilbo Baggins hates -

Cut the cloth and tread the fat!
Leave the bones on the bedroom mat!
Pour the milk on the pantry floor!
Splash…

BOOK BUYER RANT (by polandbananasBOOKS)

My feelings. Every time! Or they only have the book with the movie tie-in on the cover. Ain’t nobody got time for that (The Hobbit).

Today is the 200th anniversary of Pride and Prejudice by the wonderful Jane Austen. A book that has influenced my life so much and allowed me to believe in love. Grateful for its existence. #prideandprejudice #janeausten #literature (at the factory)

that terrifying moment when everything is happily resolved but the book still has 200 pages left

That’s when you know everyone is about to die.
