Quite Bookish
Reading is a timeless activity that can bring both enjoyment and personal growth. When we read for pure pleasure, we immerse ourselves in captivating stories that transport us to different worlds, allowing us to escape the confines of reality for a while. We form connections with fictional characters, experiencing their triumphs and tribulations alongside them. Moreover, reading broadens our horizons and sparks our imagination. It exposes us to diverse perspectives, cultures, and ideas, challenging our preconceived notions and expanding our understanding of the world. Whether it's through fiction, non-fiction, or poetry, reading offers us a unique opportunity for introspection, empathy, and continuous learning, making it an invaluable tool for personal enrichment and growth.
“Second-hand books are wild books, homeless books; they have come together in vast flocks of variegated feather, and have a charm which the domesticated volumes of the library lack. Besides, in this random miscellaneous company we may rub against some complete stranger who will, with luck, turn into the best friend we have in the world.”
A collection of books to inspire new ideas.
My two favorite resources for books are Better World Books and Archive.org
