“The reading of all good books is like a conversation with the finest minds of past centuries.” — René Descartes
"I read, therefore I am," I'm pretty sure that's what he actually meant... 😁

An old painting of a woman holding a book and looking unamused. Caption: When someone assumes that when you are reading a book, that you are "doing nothing" and therefore can be interrupted. Repeatedly.
I've given people that look, it doesn't work 😂

Four panel meme of Ron from Parks and Rec in a hardware store talking about Moby Dick. 1: Metaphores? I hate metaphors! 2: That's why my favorite book is Moby Dick! 3: No froo-froo symbolism 4: just a good, simple tale about a man who hates an animal.
Did you know that misunderstanding books is a fun and easy activity you can do at home 😜😂 But don't worry metaphors are hard for everyone 😊

Drawn image of two old ladies in a cosy room, one climbing a ladder with a stack of books to put in a shelf, the other sitting in a chair built of books reading a book. Caption: I won't buy any more books until I've read all the ones I've got. I said. Then I laughed and laughed.
I can't say I've done this personally, but I understand the sentiment 😁

Text above what I assume is a painted picture of Jane Austen.. Jane Austen's works are timeless classics because she knew the real horrors in life are having to listen to men who think they're better than you and receiving unannounced visitors.
I hate both of these things, who knew I'd have so much in common with #JaneAusten 😂

Four panel comic of a classroom with ENGLISH LIT written on a blackboard. 1st: "Morning, class! Today we're going to start our Lord of the Flies unit!" 2nd: Teacher walks out. 3d: *Lock* sound from the door. 4th: Incorrect expectation of mayhem.
First you have to force feed them some propaganda like "the strong should prey on the weak."
And then you can have instant replay of #LordOfTheFlies 🤔😒

Picture of James Earl Jones on the right with the text overlayed on the left. “When I read great literature, great drama, speeches, or sermons, I feel that the human mind has not achieved anything greater than the ability to share feelings and thoughts through language.”
That's why I like old books and classics, it's interesting to see how people thought, even if I don't agree...
It also give a window into how the future will judge us for what we think is "normal" now 🤔😅

Historical painting of a bearded man holding an open book and a knife with a halo surrounding his balding head. Caption: When you're reading and you don’t want any interruptions.
So, that's how you get a Halo, you stab someone in the defence of reading. Makes perfect sense 😂

Post by Owl! at the Library Dolly Parton has never been in a cage fight, but she *has* gifted over 200 million books to children through her Imagination Library. In a world full of Zuckerbergs and Musks, be a Dolly.
With the upcoming White House cage fight maybe the US should consider making Dolly Parton president? 🤔😁

Caption: Book Club Bouncer A drawing of a living room where a number of people are drinking wine and a lady is being led out by a man dressed all in black and wearing sunglasses. The owner of the club is saying, "Anyone else think the movie was better?"
The only question is would I rahter be this book club's bouncer or the book club's owner? Or is it like a fight club scenario where I'm both! 🤔😂

Post by Fran Two paintings of women in nice dresses reading books. Caption: My favourite category of painting is “portrait of an introvert who snuck out of the party she was forced to attend to go read in a quiet room somewhere” also known as me every holiday season.
That's my favorite part of the holidays! 😂

Post by Bookaholics. Doctor: On average, how many hours of sleep do you get? Me: It depends... Doctor: On what? Me: On how good the book is.
If only that was the only reason 😂
