Imagine reading a fictional novel and coming across a person you actually, literally know. I wrote about this in my new IG post.

Mr. Postman brought me another gem for my library yesterday. I like him, he always bears gifts and treasures to me :-) How to read a book, the classic guide to intelligent reading, caught my attention when I started to think more about the structure, wording and other hidden secrets of writing books. I am really looking forward to dive into, together with How to read literature like a professor.
You may have noticed similar yellow pattern on some of my photos. That is because I love to work, read or simply linger in my kitchen. After a while, I have also a table now, so I enjoy it immensly :-)
Where do you read most often? Do you have some special reading place(s)? I’d like to know!

“In a way, her strangeness, her naiveté, her craving for the other half of her equation was the consequence of an idle imagination. Had she paints, or clay, or knew the discipline of the dance, or strings, had she anything to engage her tremendous curiosity and her gift for metaphor, she might have exchanged the restlessness and preoccupation with whim for an activity that provided her with all she yearned for. And like an artist with no art form, she became dangerous.” - Sula, Toni Morrison
