Well, America, we had a good run. I mean, mostly. Okay, not entirely. *flips through a history book* You know what, forget I said anything.

At the end of the day, don’t we all just want to read books during a raging snowstorm in front of a crackling fire whilst enjoying a plate of emotional support cinnamon rolls?

Books are a total scam.
Every single word is already in the dictionary—they’re just selling them back to you in a different order.

“I have too many books”
-judgemental
-boring
-implies impulse-control issues

“The books... they have me.”
- mysterious
- occult
- implies you are at the mercy of a library of books that have gained sentience and are holding you hostage

Good morning #booksky

Tis the cold/flu season.

What is your favorite genre to read when you’re ill and stuck at home for a few days?

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but it’s perfectly acceptable to answer “books and cinnamon rolls” when someone asks what your weekend plans are.

Choose 20 books that have stayed with you or influenced you.
One book per day for 20 days, in no particular order.
No explanations, no reviews, just covers.

I’d have a whole lot more of these, but it probably is best that we all are limiting ourselves to 20.

Writers: yes, you are still a "real" writer if you
- have never published anything
- have no readers
- didn't write anything this month
- didn't write anything this year
- can't articulate words anymore
- can only float and mournfully wail
- were murdered ten years ago on this very spot

Dune has the same plot as the Westminster Dog Show: After generations of careful breeding, we have produced this perfect little freak of nature and now it has behavioral issues
Mom: Let's pick out a Christmas movie to watch on Thanksgiving. Which one do you guys want to watch?

Family (in unison): DUNE!
