Due respect, but in my opinion, immortal characters who are “bored with immortality” are severely lacking in imagination.

You know what would happen to me if I got immortality? Reading. In fact, immortality might be the only way to make a dent in my TBR.

Know who got it right? I can think of 3:

1. Mathew Clairmont (Couldn’t be sure that continuing to go to school wouldn’t bring him happiness, so decided to keep getting degrees just in case. Might unravel the secrets of the universe on the way, might not, he’s got the time to figure it out. Had to go back in time and be a spy instead for a while and was very upset about it).

2. The Doctor (IYKYK).

3. Tessa Grey (I grant you it’s early, but if anyone thinks this girl isn’t going to read her way into eternity I’m sorry, but you’re just wrong).

And we hate people for making mistakes so much more than we love them for doing good that the easiest way to live is to do nothing, say nothing, and love no one.

Fantasy Indies June: Day 3

What are your previous, current, and next reads?

[lonesome-witching]

Hey! For the tbr thingy: 198 (hope it's a good one! lol) <33

Okay, that is The Great Hunger by Patrick Kavanagh which is part of a boxset of modern classics my brother gifted me and is only 50 pages long. So, I'll finish that in one sitting, probably tomorrow because I just finished a book (You're Not Supposed to Die Tonight by Kalynn Bayron, if you're interested. Very good read).

Thank you for giving me a number!

Vi parlo di questo libro bellissimo.

"Un antropologo su Marte" è un saggio di Oliver Sacks, neurologo e scrittore britannico.

L'approccio innovativo di Sacks consiste nel sentirsi un esploratore nell'interiorità e nella mente di persone (o personaggi) all'apparenza distanti da sé e dal suo modo di vivere. No, non si tratta di componenti di tribù situate oltreoceano, ma di gente che lotta quotidianamente per la propria esistenza e che, a proprio modo, incarna la tanto temuta "alterità".

Sacks, dunque, adotta uno sguardo antropologico, realizzando dei veri e propri resoconti etnografici inerenti al tenore di vita, ai gusti, alle preferenze, alle credenze, ai vissuti delle persone e unisce ogni elemento raccolto. Egli interpreta i dati attingendo dalla letteratura scientifica. Questa, per quanto "molle", è anche vasta, complessa, contraddittoria e paradossale, proprio come l'essere umano.

Grazie alla capacità di cogliere il dettaglio per giungere all'universale (ragionamento induttivo) e a quella di saper sviscerare la complessità del generale per giungere al particolare (ragionamento deduttivo), Sacks consegna nelle mani del lettore un piccolo tesoro in grado di annientare il pregiudizio, poiché ogni scelta e ogni comportamento ha dietro una spiegazione profonda.

Solo sguardi sensibili e sapienti hanno l'opportunità di sperimentare quanto stolti siano gli stereotipi persino quando si discorrere di "patologie" e "sindromi". Sacks si mette alla ricerca del soggettivo, del vissuto del singolo e fa comprendere, attraverso elementi colti nella vita reale, come ogni essere umano dia il suo contributo con il suo unico e insostituibile universo interiore.

I've gone through my shelves and my Kindle library and updated everything to reflect what I actually own and still need to read/review.

The unread total is now 63 books: 25 physical and 38 digital. This does not include the book I'm reading now.

I'll be getting five more physical books from that gift subscription, for sure. I haven't been buying too many others, not like I used to.

The unread digital stuff is almost entirely a free-book spree I went on early this year.

It's only the start of June, so it's possible I could finally clear the backlog this year, but not guaranteed.

Ordinarily, I don't preorder books; but when I read that a grieving mother plants the lung of her deceased son in her wall and it grows into a Mommy's Little Monster-style creature, I will not hesitate to take that plunge. What an adorable little guy there on the cover. Reminds me of Bat Boy. Saving it as an autumn read; just thought I would share it now.
