jane austen was so lit because she wrote about men the way men typically write about women i.e. her stories just centered around women and men were only there for the sake of women, and her books could have been all bitter and sad about the state of women in that century, but instead they’re sweet honest observational stories of friendship, family and love *sighs* what a lady i am sorry i ever doubted you cos I was bored in high school
In Iceland, books are exchanged on Christmas Eve, and you spend the rest of the night reading. People generally take their books to bed along with some chocolate. How cozy and wonderful does that sound?
(More fun facts: Iceland publishes more books per capita than any other country, and new books are typically published only during the Christmas season—the frenzy is called Jólabókaflóð, or the Christmas Book Flood.)
channing tatum is like that guy in college who’s 1000% bro and loves his frat and is a world champion beer pong player and owns 324353 snap-backs and you’re just like UGH GROSS until you find him roaming the feminist lit section of the local indie book shop and he sees you eyeing him and smiles and is like “have you ever read any doris lessing?” just as his phone buzzes with a text from his grandma asking if he’ll be coming over for bingo this weekend and you also realize his text tone is “bad blood” and suddenly everything is you knew is a lie
my favorite JK rowling stunt was when she said the werewolves in her books were a metaphor for HIV and AIDs
and totally forgot that her books take place in the early 90s when HIV and AIDS was still considered an epidemic with a a HUGE stigma of folks thinking people who had the disease were willfuling infecting their partners
and she completely for got that she had a werewolf character who INTENTIONALLY turned people into werewolves
like she couldnt even fully develop her lie
i would read 500 books
and I would read 500 more

“I waited too long to read the sequel, and now I can’t even remember the characters.”
A novel by me
“I read the whole series in less than two days, and now can’t separate the events of individual books” the thrilling sequel
“I’ve read so much fanfic for this series, I can’t remember what really happened in the books” the stunning conclusion
Remember when Netflix and Tumblr didn’t exist and you read like 10 books a week? Good times.
