There is a golden house in books, reading makes me happy

If you are a beautiful girl, and you are still an elite, one is that you should quickly read a lot of books! Second, you should take the initiative to face the loss! Because if a beautiful flower doesn't grow more thorns on its own, the person who just cuts the flower will always be more than the kind person who takes care of the flower or wants you to grow more mature every day!

EVERY DAY CHANGES A LITTLE, LIFE WILL BE DIFFERENT

Actually pending, got lazy to read this past couple of months.

Reading list

We often measure relationships by their length, but sometimes the value lies in the growth, healing, or clarity they bring. Even if they don’t last. Also, rare and selfless.

“The Pivot Year”

What books stood out for you guys? I'm pretty big into reading science fiction, mostly for the philosophical or psychological aspects that can be a main part of the stories, but I'm open to anything good.

Recommendations

So I'm looking for my August book of the month read. I love classic novels. Any suggestions? I've read too many to put here but if I come across something I haven't read I will let you know. Thanks in advance.

It’s not just fake dating, it’s healing, growth, and loving loudly in silence...

Have you read this book? No! Give couple of yours minutes!

Warning: It may cause you uncontrollable smiling in public!

Well, Love Was Never Part of the Experiment...

The ancient Sanskrit legends speak of a destined love, a karmic connection between souls that are fated to meet and collide and enrapture one another. The legends say that the loved one is instantly recognised because she's loved in every gesture, every expression of thought, every movement, every sound, and every mood that prays in her eyes. The legends say that we know her by her wings - the wings that only we can see - and because wanting her kills every other desire of love.

~ Gregory David Roberts - Shantaram ~

The wings that only we can see

2 Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise;

3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.

4 And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

Ephesians 6:2-4

Read Confessions of a Mask by Mishima Yukio is just watching him do some self-care?

😂😅

[For the context, SPOILER ALERT, the protagonist is Mr West who lives in the late 19th century, fells asleep with the help of hypnosis, and then awakes in the year 2000 and meets a family who now lives in his former house, and is introduced to this new world. All this is very interesting, but also exhausting. Thus following scene.]

"'Here are your friends,' said Edith, indicating one of the cases, and as my eye glanced over the names on the backs of the volumes – Shakespeare, Milton, Wordsworth, Shelley, Tennyson, Defoe, Dickens, Thackeray, Hugo, Hawthorne, Irving, and a score of other great writers of my time [1887] and all time, I understood her meaning. She had indeed made good her promise in a sense compared with which its literal fulfilment would have been a disappointment. 

She had introduced me to a circle of friends whom the century that had elapsed since last I communed with them had aged as little as it had myself. Their spirit was as high, their wit as keen, their laughter and their tears as contagious, as when their speech had whiled away the hours of a former century. Lonely I was not and could not be more, with this goodly companionship, however wide the gulf of years that graped between me and my old life." 

(Chpt. XIII, p. 147)

A quote from "Looking Backward: 2000–1887" (by Edvard Bellamy, 1888)

Then Sarah denied, saying, “I did not laugh,” for she was afraid. But He said, “No, but you did laugh.”

We deny our true "selves" to others. We don’t want to admit that we are impatient or that we get angry. We don’t want anyone to know that we feel envy or have hateful thoughts. But God knows our hearts. We should not be afraid to admit our true feelings to Him. He knows our sins even before we speak them, and He grants forgiveness when we ask. His grace is sufficient for all.

Genesis 18:15

So Sarah laughed to herself as she thought, “After I am worn out and my lord is old, will I now have this pleasure?”

It’s exciting to think about the plans God has for our lives! We were created with unique spiritual gifts, and we are never too old or too young to put those gifts into action. It is important not to doubt that God can use us—and indeed does use us—to continue spreading His Word. We must surrender our own plans and trust in God's guidance to use our spiritual gifts every day.

Genesis 18:12

Anyone else? 😅

Went to the library to get two warhammer books and they say available but aren't on the shelves. I asked staff and they said to put on hold so there can be a search but that if they are simply gone it usually means they were stolen and since these are warhammer books that's a very likely case. This on top of the scalpers clearing out used book stores. Come on man. Who tf steals library books. Like wow I came down here specifically for this smh

I read people like books. The trick is knowing which ones are worth rereading… and which ones just have a nice cover. So, what chapter are you hiding?
