There is this one girl in my school who looks so much like camilla macauley and I want to tell her so bad but I feel like it would be so creepy to go tell her because she doesn't even know my name (I know her full name and her time table + more or less where she lives)

Im never going to do anything about it but I needed to tell this somewhere

#i once saw her smoking in front of our school and thats when i realised #the secret history is a masterpiece #the secret history #camila macauley #dark academia books #dark academia #tsh #donna tartt #books #classical books

Some colorized (deleted!) scenes from Lord of the flies 1963

Which version do you prefer the 63’ or the 90’s version? I like the old one because it’s a lot more book accurate, but i also love the 90’s version. :)

Erich Maria Remarque books

I've read all Remarque's books and they are all undeniably great,every single one of them shattered my heart to pieces. Even though the endings were bitter and sad, I liked them because Remarque's unfortunate endings are a reminder that, no matter what, his books are close to reality, and sometimes in reality no matter how much we sacrifice and deserve a good ending, we never get one, because life isn't a happy and fair fairy tale.
