Welcome to Litsy!

#WeRemember Day 13: Still my favourite #NortonJuster of all times, particularly this annotated edition by Leonard Marcus. “…many of the things which can never be, often are. You see,” he went on, “it‘s very much like your trying to reach Infinity. You know that it‘s there, but you just don‘t know where—but just because you can never reach it doesn‘t mean that it‘s not worth looking for.” My full review here: https://wp.me/pDlzr-4sr

Funny story: I went to go sell back this book at one bookstore and they said they couldn‘t buy it because it was going online for like $250. Go to a more specialized store and they say sorry, those are regular hardbacks, you have the library edition. I‘ll give you $10. Needless to say, I was disappointed but not surprised. I liked the book but it was too hard to keep my attention so I‘m not shocked it led me on this goose chase 🙃

Dodecahedron when Milo unthinkingly noted that numbers are not important:
“Could you have tea for two without the two—or three blind mice without the three? Would there be four corners of the earth if there weren‘t a four? And how would you sail the #SevenSeas without a seven?”
One of the most brilliant children‘s books out there. Amazing wordplay, amazing depth. The annotated version is even better!

Enjoying an evening in with a cup of tea, asmr Harry Potter rooms in the background and this quality book. The second half of work was absolutely insane and I definitely needed this. Just finished the introduction and finally get to start the story 🥰

Went to the Twin Cities Book Festival today and I found the tagged book for $10! And I was able to find a really cheap copy of aliebn which I wanted to buy for my sister for Christmas. Plus I got some book accessories which I‘m super excited for.

“Obviously you don‘t know who we are,” sneered the fifth. And they presented themselves one by one as:
“The Duke of Definition.”
“The Minister of Meaning.”
“The Earl of Essence.”
“The Count of Connotation.”
“The Undersecretary of Understanding.”

Coming into the #FirstLinesChallenge for #24in48 with this little nugget of truth. #24in48readathon

Coming home from school one day, Milo finds an unexpected gift..a make-believe tollbooth. When he drives through it in his electric toy car, he is suddenly transported to the Lands Beyond, a fantastic world of imagination.

😂😭😍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I wish I had read this as a kid, because I would have adored it. I really loved it even as an adult. It has the expected moral messages but they're so cleverly slotted in with little sayings that cracked me up at times.

Day 7 @bookriot #riotgrams The Phantom Tollbooth is one of my absolutely most #welllovedbooks. I re-read it constantly when I was younger!

How much could be accomplished with just a little thought.

To read one day, one day... 💝

I am done. My life is complete.

Things which are equally bad are also equally good. Try to look at the bright side of things.
