So, it's either keep buying more books or become a librarian? 🤔
It's a rare thing indeed to have life present us with two excellent choices 😊

It's not that I *can't* read all of the books I already have, it's that once a reader finishes all the books in their possession, they transcend into their final form and I'm just not ready to become a librarian yet.

I quite like the 1984 film version of Dune, but the characters are a bit far fetched. An obese, orange, diseased peadophile starting a war for his own selfish needs.

“Can you understand? Someone, somewhere, can you understand me a little, love me a little? For all my despair, for all my ideals, for all that – I love life. But it is hard, and I have so much – so very much to learn.”

"Write the truest sentence that you know."

That simple advice guided Ernest Hemingway (July 21, 1899 – July 2, 1961) throughout his life. A reporter, soldier, traveler, Nobel Prize winner, and master storyteller, he transformed real-life adventure into timeless literature.

"J'insiste sur la mort de ce cheval, parce que c'est la sensation la plus pénible que j'aie éprouvée au combat de taureau. Ce ne fut pas, du reste, la seule victime: quatorze chevaux restèrent sur l'arène ce jour-là; un seul taureau en tua cinq."

— Théophile Gautier: Voyage en Espagne

Les mots me manquent pour décrire le dégoût, la colère, les sentiments et ressentiments éprouvés à la lecture de ces passages où l'auteur décrit avec force détails l'immondice de cette boucherie dont se délectent douze mille spectateurs, dont l'écrivain lui-même. Décidément, des choses m'échappent au point que je n'ai pas l'impression de partager quoi que ce soit avec ces gens.

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry was born in Lyon, France, on June 29, 1900.
The Little Prince was written and illustrated by him during exile in the United States and first published there in 1943; today it is one of the most translated works of fiction in the world.

expanding the recognition of #bookwyrm posts on #neodb to also work when viewing media updates from other neodb instances, e.g. here I see a post from neodb.social about city hunter (fun classic kdrama) and the post menu has an option to search for it locally in the tv catalog
