One of my favorite things about the Fellowship in Moria is how Frodo is initially thought of as being killed in the cave troll attack, so when Aragorn grabs Frodo on the way out and the hobbit begins to complain and wiggle in his arms it jumpscares Aragorn so much that he almost drops him in 'cause he briefly thought that this little friend's spear-pierced corpse suddenly started moving and screaming in grasp

Guys please tell me-

How good is Six of Crows? I heard about it and it has peaked my interest- I need to know what happens?? Like??? I understand that book synopsis are meant to tell me what they are about (they = books) BUT the readers always have better explanations

Some of my favorite things in the book :

- Aziraphale having devilled eggs while Crowley is having angel cake

- Greasy Johnson

- Pepper’s little sister

- The Caterham and Whyteleafe Market Traders’s Association annual dinner and dance mistaken for a satanic orgy in 1933

- John the Apostle’s magic mushrooms addiction

- « a sleek computer was the sort of thing Crowley felt that the sort of human he tried to be would have. »

- Crowley reads

- Crowley’s Soul Music collection

- Aziraphale thinking that getting rid of a demon was as easy as saying « isn’t it getting late? » Because Crowley had always got the hint.

And were it not for the fact that Aelin was currently allowing him to rest a hand upon her shoulder, Rowan would have thrown the male into the lake.

That stomach-dropping moment when you get to the end of a book and you can see the bad ending coming :(

[willowmaidsworld]

There are moments that feel like taken from books:

Like waiting alone for a tram late at night in post soviet city makes you feel like you're in Master and Margarita

Having a good cup of tea is just like Proust and his Search for the lost time

Slow sunny summer afternoon feels like one of Shakespeare's sonnets

The blooming spring is like Jane Austen novel

A rainy autumn afternoon reminds me of Keats

Running errands around the town is sometimes like Mrs. Dalloway

Chilly winter day transports you in your favourite fairytale all of sudden

And these moments are perfect. I cherish them.

“When I first heard it, from a dog trainer who knew her behavioral science, it was a stunning moment. I remember where I was standing, what block of Brooklyn’s streets. It was like holding a piece of polished obsidian in the hand, feeling its weight and irreducibility. And its fathomless blackness. Punishment is reinforcing to the punisher. Of course. It fit the science, and it also fit the hidden memories stored in a deeply buried, rusty lockbox inside me. The people who walked down the street arbitrarily compressing their dogs’ tracheas, to which the poor beasts could only submit in uncomprehending misery; the parents who slapped their crying toddlers for the crime of being tired or hungry: These were not aberrantly malevolent villains. They were not doing what they did because they thought it was right, or even because it worked very well. They were simply caught in the same feedback loop in which all behavior is made. Their spasms of delivering small torments relieved their frustration and gave the impression of momentum toward a solution. Most potently, it immediately stopped the behavior. No matter that the effect probably won’t last: the reinforcer—the silence or the cessation of the annoyance—was exquisitely timed. Now. Boy does that feel good.”
