Obsessed With Mass Market Paperbacks. Their Pleasing Rectangular Proportions. How They Fit Badly In A

obsessed with mass market paperbacks. their pleasing rectangular proportions. how they fit badly in a hoodie pocket so you can drag them around everywhere with you like a temporary little buddy. the way they fit in your hand because they're MADE for human hands and not as bookshelf decoration. the way the pages feel when you riffle them gently with your thumb. How pristine and crisp they look when you get them and how creased and folded they look when you're done, even if you try to be nice to them. how that wear is okay, how that's correct actually, because they're made with the philosophy that books aren't meant to be PRETTY, they're meant to be read. that little ripple new ones get on the left side from where you hold them when you're reading, the way the ripple only goes as far as you've read, because u change stories by reading as they are changing you. how you can find thousands of these creased and folded and loved little dudes in every thrift store and used book shop and neighborhood library and you can instantly see the ones that someone carried around in a backpack for weeks or read to pieces or gave up on halfway through because they wear being read like fresh snow wears footprints. I love these poorly made, subpar little rectangles so much. truly the people's books.

I am still lost in the sauce but the sauce is more like a clear broth now, so I think we are getting somewhere.

I had to escape to the city library today in order not to melt. I wouldn't want an AC in my home, but thank god public buildings have them.

Pogress is being made with my essay. Slow, slow progress, but once I get out of the mental haze that is the planning phase I think I'll manage to wrap this one up quite smoothly. It#s only supposed to be 8-10 pages, probably around 2.5k words, anyways.

Also, damn, I really gotta start putting more effort into taking pictures for these posts again. Sorry about that.

Positive Things I did today:

worked on my Hamilton essay

went grocery shopping

cooked dinner for my me and my friend

continued reading Swimming in the Dark

Hours slept: ~7hrs Screentime: ~5hrs 30mins Steps taken: ~4.100

After having finally finished Swimming in the Dark a started a whopping two (2) books today! Kind of on accident, actually...

I've had Ariadne sitting on my shelf at my parents' for forever now and since I wasn't feeling in the mood for the spooky classics I had set out for September I decided to start that one instead. I love studying religious history, especially ancient Greek and Roman cults and religious practices. The way religion was so intricately woven into all parts of daily life is extremely fascinating to me, and the myths (and mythology retellings in turn) really reflect that! I haven't made much progress on Ariadne yet, but I'm excited to read on.

After having started book number one in the morning I promptly forgot it at home once I headed out to pick up my siblings from school. So I did the only logical thing to do and bought a new book to read during the wait :) The cover of Where the Crawdads Sing has been speaking to me for a while now. The plot isn't really in line with what I usually read but, hey, it got a map in the front and my fantasy loving brain is wired to that stuff. In the end I ended up not having much time to read, so I only got through the Prologue, but I like the writing style so far.

Positive things I did that day:

ran errands

got paperwork done

visited family

read

Hours slept: ~ 8hrs 30mins Screentime: ~7hrs 30mins Steps taken: ~5.700
