  I just read Jekyll and Hyde which I didn’t like and so I considered getting rid of it, but it has my favorite line of any book which is “If he be Mr Hyde then I shall be Mr Seek.” Perfect. No notes. The book stays on my shelf.

  As an Angela Collier enthusiast, I was watching this video to get book recs for my own reading list and IMAGINE MY SURPRISE AT <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JmAwuMwpFc&amp;t=2482">41:22</a>. Haha. I&apos;m so glad you enjoyed Dickinson.

  I&apos;ve read 1000s of books in my life, and it&apos;s refreshing to hear someone else say &quot;I don&apos;t remember a thing about this one.&quot;

  Ex seminarian here. If you have a book with a tassle (e.g. &quot;Age of Innocence&quot;, &quot;The War of the Worlds&quot;) the thing to do is to have the tassle go diagonally across the page so that it emerges from the book on the lower half of the right side of the page. Jamming it straight down the crease will put pressure on the book&apos;s binding and very likely bend or tear the page at the top. You&apos;ll find the book stores better on the shelf as well.

  my grandma is i think 87 and has also decided no more surgeries or chemotherapy cancer treatments, she could live 6 months or 5 years, she&apos;s also no longer doing regular like blood tests because if you&apos;re not doing the treatments its only a source of anxiety and like &quot;THINGS ARE GETTING WORSE YOURE RUNNING OUT OF TIME&quot; that she doesnt want, she&apos;d rather just live life day by day and whatever happens and time comes when it does is how it will happen.

  I never understood why someone would buy a bunch of books impulsively, and then I discovered that a library within walking distance of me has 25¢ to 1$ books about a month ago and I have already gotten 3 feet of books...

  I just finished The Left Hand Of Darkness and was completely blown away. It&apos;s one of those books that within the first 10 pages made me go from &quot;wtf is going on&quot; to &quot;oh my god this is going to be incredible&quot;. It&apos;s alien but so human. A book about accepting change and of love and friendship with others who are different. I had to read it twice back to back and I still can&apos;t get it out of my head. Very much a winter book.<br><br>I just moved on to The Word For World is Forest, only a few pages in and already there are small hints and connections to the larger world that these books live in. I can&apos;t believe how long these sat in my shame pile.<br><br>Thank you for your reviews and recommendations! I&apos;ve added quite a few to my list

  Loving the range of descriptions. Going from super detailed several minutes discussion to &quot;He has a mustache that he shaves and people tell him he never had a mustache&quot; and &quot;They wear uniforms and sign up for sex time&quot; 💀

  My favorite Le Guin novel from the same universe as &quot;The Word for World is Forest&quot; is The Dispossessed but The Left Hand of Darkness might be the best.<br><br>I hope you continue to enjoy her work!

  Here we see the struggle between Evil Angela, Hoarder of Books and Good Angela, Donator of Books. The struggle is real!

  I am an English Lit major, my favorite professor was a Virginia Wolff scholar of some significance, and I absolutely share your Virginia Wolff struggle.

  You&apos;re probably one of the very few people who has read Howl&apos;s moving castle before watching the Ghibli movie
