There are many idioms in Spanish that express the same idea as not judging a book by its cover: • LAS APARIENCIAS ENGAÑAN - Appearances are deceiving. • EL HÁBITO NO HACE AL MONJE - The cowl does not make the monk. • CARAS VEMOS, CORAZONES NO SABEMOS - Faces we see, hearts we don’t know. ===================== A few years ago I saw on TV a piece about a bookstore that sells books wrapped in craft paper to avoid people from judging a book by its cover and it occurred to me to do just the opposite 🙃 • I always went for the same authors and the same subjects/themes, so why not get out of my comfort zone and just choose a book by its cover? • And so my adventures began, I have chosen many books that I would have not chosen otherwise, some have been great and it would have been a shame not to have read them and some, well, not so great :) but that’s part of the fun. Imagine me gone is my latest adventure, so far an interesting decision about love and loss and family... ===================== Have you ever chosen a book in this way? Am I the only one?

My casting for ... Imagine Me Gone
I love reading. When I read a book I cast the movie adaptation in my mind. I review books here by listing my cast.
Next up - Imagine Me Gone. It’s a story of a family dealing with the mental illness of the father and then later one of the sons.
Margaret- Kate Winslet John - Benedict Cumberbatch Michael - Michael Fassbender Cecelia- Kiera Knightley Alec- James McAvoy Paul - Adam Scott Seth - BJ Novak

Hello friend. . . These are the 12 books I've bought since the 1st of January 2018. . Now I think I really have to stop for a while before I bankrupt. But it's so hard to resist when addicted. . . Am sick. Need some tea... . #bookstagram #bookporn #books #instabooks #classics #franzkafka #davidfosterwallace #irismurdoch #mikhaillermontov #edithwharton #adamhaslett #tomwolfe #book #booksofinstagram

What do you fear when you fear everything? Time passing and not passing. Death and life. I could say my lungs never filled with enough air, no matter how many puffs of my inhaler I took. Or that my thoughts moved too quickly to complete, severed by perpetual vigilance. But even to say this would abet the lie that terror��can be described, when anyone who's ever known it knows that it has no components but its instead everywhere inside you all the time, until you recognize yourself only by the tensions that string one minute to the next. And yet I keep lying, by describing, because the condition itself: the relentless need to escape a moment that never ends.
