Here lies a girl
who was always overdressed
and unable to make decisions.
Emily. 17. Pennsylvannia.
"I have been astonished that Men could die Martyrs for religion - I have shudder'd at it - I shudder no more - I could be martyr'd for my Religion - Love is my religion - I could die for that."
- John Keats
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
I am extremely interested, but I have no motivation to read this right now….
Had my first trip to Barnes and Nobles today…. It’s no Borders but in time I can see myself loving it. Picked up my book for my research paper and Hamlet even though I finished it yesterday because the Barnes &Noble Shakespeare is a lovely edition and it clarifies so much. There was a lot I was confused about so I am going to reread the last two acts in this version since it was recommended to me by my Shakespeare Studies teacher last year and it was great with A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
I made a little reading corner on my floor & am settling in with act two of Hamlet! I have to admit that I am enjoying senior year so far. All of my classes are so mind opening, thought evoking, enlightening…. it’s lovely.
Already got textbooks for Humanities and already have homework!
struggling my way through this…
I have so many books that they have to be stacked weirdly to all fit in my bookcases.. It kind of bugs me cause I like to be able to see the names and stuff but whatever.
And these are only half of them. The rest are in a huge bin in my basement.
I just finished this. Wow wow wow wow wow so so so good. I can’t even describe it. I went through this with a pen and underlined my favorite lines in every poem and it was just so enjoyable. Such good poetry. I have never been more sad to close a book in my life… I can honestly say that if I think I loved poetry before, it is nothing compared to how much I love it after finishing this. I can’t wait to read more Neruda and to come back to these poems and fall in love all over again.
Just finished this book… wow. Depressing and hilarious at the same time. Left me crying at the end..
today I went shopping. I went to this antique/used bookstore where my friend works for her senior project and I picked up The Complete Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm. The bookstore is seriously one of the coolest places I have ever seen. I bought a book there once about John Keats and it’s serious the most gorgeous, old book I own.
Right across the street from this bookstore, there’s a borders. So I stopped by and I picked up some more Neruda because I just adore him and at the other store his books were quite expensive. Then I saw this Edgar Allen Poe complete works and I picked it up to look at it, assuming it must be like at least thirty dollars. It was $7.99. What a deal! I couldn’t resist so I had to buy it. The guy at the register commended me for my choice and gave me a discount purely for buying Poe. Nice guy.
the most wordy book ever!
