I want to only take one book with me when I leave my home with limited storage soon, is there a good book you can just read over and over again and find joy in each time? I struggle reading most books more than twice in succession. Any help is appreciated! (pic unrelated)
>>24556812 (OP)Yea but it’s probably not the kind you’re looking for: Matthew.
>>24556812 (OP)My favorite is rendezvous with rama but probably not what you're looking for
Lord of the rings and the hobbit though have the time i listen to rob ingles narration instead of or during the read. My favorite all time narration.
>>24556812 (OP)Petkana (life if Saint Petka/Paraschevi), by Ljiljana Habjanovic Djurovic. I am reading it for a third time. She is also my favorite modern author. The book has some of the best metaphors I have ever seen. How can someone write a literal biography, yet add so much to it without tarnishing anything? She is a genius. I cry every time I read it.
this. full of both humor and observations that haven't aged a day in well over 100 years. see:
>"Swearing has the same soothing effect upon our angry passions that smashing the furniture or slamming the doors is so well known to exercise; added to which it is much cheaper. Swearing clears a man out like a pen'orth of gunpowder does the wash-house chimney. An occasional explosion is good for both. I rather distrust a man who never swears, or savagely kicks the foot-stool, or pokes the fire with unnecessary violence. Without some outlet, the anger caused by the ever-occurring troubles of life is apt to rankle and fester within. The petty annoyance, instead of being thrown from us, sits down beside us and becomes a sorrow, and the little offense is brooded over till, in the hot-bed of rumination, it grows into a great injury, under whose poisonous shadow springs up hatred and revenge.
>Swearing relieves the feelings—that is what swearing does. I explained this to my aunt on one occasion, but it didn't answer with her. She said I had no business to have such feelings."
