Welcome to Litsy!

Title that begins with the letter O
There are a few O options, but as i decided to post this in the AM, I inevitably gravitated to the Penguin Little Black Classic with the best title & containing his aphoristic brilliance:
“Are there not books that can make us live more in one single hour than life can make us live in a score of shameful years?“
“I never put off till tomorrow what I can possibly do-the day after.“👇

“As soon as people are old enough to know better, they don‘t know anything at all.” ~ Oscar Wilde

#GratefulReads - Day Four - #Under250Pages A little book full of the witticisms of Oscar Wilde, some are sharp and waspish, some will make you laugh out loud.

Wilde books are #WildBooks. #30JuneBooks

#OscarWilde is one of my favourite authors! His works always full of charms & witty quotes. This one might be
-the shortest book I own ✅
But It‘s definitely one of my favourites too. This little black book is just full of his wisdoms, with a collection of some of his best wittiest quotes. And Now! Just one more book to go & Im finished with the hunt! 🤗 #PenguinClassics #Booknerd

" A community is infinitely more brutalized by the habitual employment of punishment, than it is by the occasional occurrence of crime. "

"Are there not books that can make us live more in one single hour than life can make us live in a score of shameful years? "

"Murder is always a mistake. One should never do anything that one cannot talk about after dinner."

My family has a #fascination with the Royals, but my sister @AnnieD takes it to the next level with her bathroom reading...as seen in her London flat earlier this year 😉

Another read that I find hard to categorize within the Litsy rating system. Buying this I was expecting a coherent text, and that is not what this is. It says at the end papers that this is selections from an other text and that is exactly what this feels like. It is as is someone sat down with the original text and selected the best quotes. And there is a lot of great quotes in there.

And now my read for the way home

Came home to find a parcel waiting for me, all the way from Scotland, packed with generous gifts from @Christine11 !! I love everything, thank you! My daughter has called dibs on the washi tape already 😉 I can‘t wait to start on the coloring book, it‘s gorgeous! The notebook is adorable and everything is so thoughtful. Thank you 💗🙏🏼

"Murder is always a mistake. One should never do anything that one cannot talk about after dinner."

As a lifelong protagonist, I feel this.

Best Penguin Little Black Classic title? Without a doubt!

First hour of readathon - read these two gems. I really loved this small book that is packed with Oscar Wilde‘s musings. The poetry on the other hand ... I think I need more coffee. Thank you @emilyhaldi ❤️. #24in48

Yep, I feel the same way.

I too have made this discovery.

Oh dear, I happen to be perfectly brilliant at breakfast 🤔

I love these Penguin Little Black Classics! ❤️ 🐧 📚

“Are there not books that can make us live more in one single hour than life can make us live in a score of shameful years?”

• Spoken like a wise man again, Oscar Wilde ❤️

• For me, The Secret History by Donna Tartt is one of those books 📖 Does this quote make you think of a certain book?

“To love oneself is the beginning of a life-long romance.”

• No truer words were once spoken! To be happy with yourself, you have to love yourself! 💖

• So y'all give yourself a kiss and appreciate all the wonderful things that you are 🤗 and never forget that!

• I love this little book full of wisdom so much that I'm reading my favourite quotes during coffee every morning ☕️

“I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.”

• I read Only Dull People Are Brilliant at Breakfast last weekend. It's a Penguin Little Black Classic with a collection of the most genius quotes of Oscar Wilde ✨
• Oscar Wilde is my bae 💖 he is almost as narcissistic as I am 😌 I can really relate to that quote (just kidding, but really.. 😇)

Had to see what the fuss is all about 🤣

My attempt to be spine-poet. The title of spine-poem is book in the tag ... just because I like peculiar titles 😁

#spinepoetry

I don't seem to have any books with a REALLY #longtitle for day 12 of #booktober. These are the longest really. Good books too :) I'm currently reading The Curious Incident, and Oscar Wilde speaks for himself ❤️

These have arrived 😍 I love penguin little black classics! I wish I had them all. #penguinlittleblackclassics #oscarwilde #arthurconandoyle

This book is mainly just quotable snippets that came from some of Wilde's longer works, his essays I believe. Because it's just random thoughts, it's the kind of book that is ideal for reading while distracted. I started and finished during breakfast. You get a real feel for Wilde's humor for sure!

One should always be a little improbable.
