"If we were not islands, we would be lost, drowned in each other's tragedies."

What a beautiful book, inside out. Loved this read and the illustrations are amazing!

I don't think I've ever struggled so much with finishing a book, but determination pays off. Finished it as my end of 2017-challenge and in the end, it's a good read, even if it's dense and difficult. (Coffee certainly helped with that)

This edition is seriously the most beautiful book I've ever owned. And best thing: it's signed!

Found this amazing edition on my last day trip in the UK and can now enjoy it in my new reading nook! #blessed

And so, from nothing, our universe begins.

After finishing my dissertation, I needed something completely different and Bill Bryson never disappoints!

I never read it as a child, but this is seriously so good. I think it should be on everyone's reading list, there are so many smart and touching things in it. And let's face it, Pullman's writing is brilliant.

A bit of light reading for my dissertation.
I know a lot of people can't read this book and I struggled a lot too, but once you get used to the language and the rythm, it is an incredibly beautiful piece of art. Would totally recommend, even if it is tiring!

Never read Joyce before, but I just had to buy some of his works when I was in Dublin. I can definitely see why he is such a cherished author, Dubliners is definitely a portrait of a city book that delivers what it promises!

They were character and authors both, able to tell what they wished, cradle the rest in silence.

A perfect summary of Austrians and a book that honestly made me cry at the end of it. Thomas Bernhard is as wonderful as he sounds dull

Always a pleasure to read Othello. No matter how often I read it, the goosebumps are there every single time.

Ms Austen never disappoints! Even though I was a bit unnerved by some of the characters, it is a wonderful book and case study of the society

Getting out of hell seems a bit hard this year
