Jonathan Franzen, The Corrections

“Nowadays most people die of a sort of creeping common sense, and discover when it is too late that the only things one never regrets are one’s mistakes.”

yume-imnida asked: The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

—- I was going to choose “i like it” option but there is no such option here and i am not sure whether i should tag it as “a must read” book since I am normally sceptical about self-help books but I will always remember the Alchemist with a great sense of optimism.

thanksfortheuniverse asked: The Book Thief! :)

—- I guess you have seen this coming if you follow my blog :)

snazzysnape asked: The Fault In Our Stars :)

—- Still haven’t read it.

yume-imnida asked: The Boy with the Cuckcoo-clock Heart by Mathias Malzieu

—-Should I read it?

lookfar asked: “A wizard of Earthsea”

—- A must read for fantasy lovers. I only read the first book and I hope I can read the rest of the books one day.

deannajodouglass asked: The Count of Monte Christo by Alexandre Dumas

—- One of my favorite classics.

deannajodouglass asked: The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde

—- Read it twice. Always impressive.

I think it is unnatural to think that there is such a thing as a blue-sky, white-clouded happy childhood for anybody. Childhood is a very, very tricky business of surviving it. Because if one thing goes wrong or anything goes wrong, and usually something goes wrong, then you are compromised as a human being. You’re going to trip over that for a good part of your life.

— Maurice Sendak (via pavorst)

The only darkness we should allow into our lives is the night, and even then, we have the moon.
