My antonia book cover5/21/2023 “That is happiness to be dissolved into something complete and great.”īy the way, I’ve been reading the title of this book wrong all this time. Quite a shallow reason, I know, but whenever I see this book on various occasions, I feel like it’s calling me to read her. The reason being was, I kept seeing this book’s different editions every time I visit secondhand bookshops in my area. (Being hard to myself and forcing myself to read books that I know I won’t have the heart in reading won’t just do me any good.) And I picked up My Antonia by Willa Cather. I know that it’s quite sad that it’s already November and I’m just starting my plans that I was supposed to start last January but as a person who doesn’t DNF books, good timing is always to be considered. When I finally decided to get a book in my classics shelf, there’s always that “other” book tat catches my attention veering my focus away.īut guess what, the winds of change finally came and I suddenly became in the mood for that classics vibe. It’s not that I do not want to read them, it’s just that I was always in no mood to read a book in that genre despite having it all planned. Well, uhmmm let’s just say that I tried to accomplish it but I really can’t put my head into reading one. On my 2016 Bookish Goals and Resolutions post, one of the things that I decided to accomplish this year is to read at least one classic a month.

The golden notebook book review5/21/2023 I could hear her sentences in my ears as I sat below a hundred meters of tasteful Liberty print bunting that the bride, her sister and their mother (three intelligent and expensively educated women) had sewn by hand. I came closer to understanding my own truculence when I attended the wedding of a school friend while halfway through reading The Golden Notebook, Doris Lessing’s 1962 exploration of the artistic and sexual life of a “ free woman.” Lessing’s voice is powerful and it had taken hold of me, 50 years later, to the extent that it seemed to muffle the voices around me. At all of them I chastised myself for my own mean-spiritedness and hypocrisy (I too am married, and once devoted a summer to it) but determined that at some point when not at a wedding I would work out why I minded it all so much. Collectively, they seemed to go on for too long and to involve too much effort, whether it was the effort of the congregation to reach these much-loved remote places or the effort of the bride and groom to coordinate flowers, music, seating plans, personalized vows, homemade confetti and take-home marmalade. White weddings, gold weddings weddings in village churches, on beaches, at woolen mills. There were too many weddings that summer.

Wish you were here by catherine clark5/20/2023 One of the things in life I am personally guilty of is worrying too much about the future and sometimes ruminating on the past. Hopefully, these quotes below provide you with some insight as to why enjoyment shouldn’t just be a temporary phase of life, but a necessity you seek to experience daily. When we’re so invested in the hustle and bustle of life, it can be hard to list joy as a top priority. Enjoying life means periodically slowing down and putting what we have to do and where we have to go on pause and just be. Enjoying life means taking advantage of what we have around us-like our families, friends, partners, homes, and hobbies.Įnjoying life means being aware of the present moment and trying to experience all of the things that make us happy to the fullest extent. While all of these are important, we can sometimes forget that a big part of life is to enjoy it while it’s still here. However, when we think about life, we may often think about our work, goals, or responsibilities. We’re told that enjoying something means finding pleasure in something. We learn the word “enjoy” very early on in life. He was elected as the secretary of the Punjab State Kisan Sabha in 1938.

John green turtles5/20/2023 Green, who has been candid about his own experiences of OCD and how they informed his new book, expresses his initial misgivings about a Turtles All the Way Down movie, given its subject matter. Turtles All the Way Down is the story of a sixteen-year-old girl with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, who, along with her best friend, sets out to solve the mystery of a missing billionaire.
