everyone who is a writer should get into running bc it's important to have at least one hobby you hate even more than writing

I'm no expert on Dostoevsky, but from what I have read I have to say this is accurate 😂

So, putting the book down where you finish reading it until it organically evolves into a pile of books doesn't count as "arranging"? Rude! 😜😂

I do like both, and I've never understood why this is an issue, is it not the content of the book that matters? Not how that content is delivered? 🤔😁

All language is weird, but I sometimes wonder if English isn't the weirdest 🤔

Also, does that technically make liguistics a Weird Science 😁

In Japanese, "tsundoku" means collecting books and letting them pile up,
not from neglect, but for the joy of knowing they're there, full of untold stories.

"Babe, it's not clutter. It's the Japanese practice of tsundoku."

But even then I think TV and movies based on books are often better than a lot of other TV or movie writing, so perhaps it's not all bad? 🤔😁

The founders’ version of #memes and trash talk involved making obscure references to orators, philosophers, senators, consuls, and generals of the ancient republics.
