Jim and I went through high school together - meaning my all-girls school and his all-boys school were buddies - and I’m kind of really looking forward to re-experiencing The Great Gatsby through his marginalia. Yay books!
I did this thing.
Please tell me how big my ears are. I can’t stop thinking about it.
I promise to be better next time.
*runs to hide*
I wrote this. Because sometimes I just can’t come up with lists and I just really need to read a lot of books all at the same time and really fast. And then I write things like this.
Ohhh look what just arrived. #reading
I left the house without a book today.
It was horrible.
I had to ride the subway both ways listening to something and not reading.
IT HURT SO MUCH.
"People react to an incredible amount of non-verbal stimuli when taking a recommendation from someone, for instance, which weighs upon the ultimate decision being made. Motivation is very psychological. When someone recommends a book to you, you subconsciously analyse what you know about that person and their tastes in relation to your own, you determine based on their tone and description of the book whether you think it would be a good fit for you, you interpret, without conscious though, body language which can influence how you feel about the recommendation. You also dip into your deep memory vault and remember the last time that person recommended a book to you and you hated it, so you are not going to take their recommendations seriously."
