— Lucy, these pancakes are wonderful. Anne, you ought to try one, really. Lily, tell Mama how good they are. — Mama, they're like cake. — Hummmnnn...I want a stack of five of 'em. — Dave, watch your waistline. — Lucy, I haven't had pancakes like this in years. Hummnn... — Better eat your fill of 'em, Mister Dave. — Lily, take some more. — Sure, Papa. They're so good. — Mister Dave, you want me to make another batch for you? — Yeah. You'd better cook me another batch, Lucy. — O.K. Another batch of pancakes coming up! — Oh Papa, she cooks real good. — Sh. Don't talk so loud. We don't want to spoil her. That gal knows her onions. Don't know what she put in these cakes, but I'm taking a third stack of 'em. Anne! — Yes, Dave. — I'm downing these cakes. God, they're good. 🥞 #eightmen #richardwright #harperperennial #modernclassics #pancakes #foodinbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CH5VHoIg3-F/?utm_medium=tumblr

"He opened the door and stepped inside the shop. On reverse letters across the front window was: NICK'S FRUITS AND MEATS. He laughed, picked up a soft ripe yellow pear and bit into it; juice squirted; his mouth ached as his saliva glands reacted to the acid of the fruit. He ate three pears, gobbled up six bananas, and made away with several oranges, taking a bite out of their tops and holding them to his lips and squeezing them as he hungrily sucked the juice." 🍌🍐🍊 (I don't know if I could eat all this fruit in one sitting but I do know that this book is excellent ✨) 🍊🍐🍌 #eightmen #richardwright #harperperennial #modernclassics #fruit #bananas #pears #oranges #foodinbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CHx5mM9gcLe/?utm_medium=tumblr

Q: What do these books have in common? A: They are the books I bought this month and the last I plan to buy this year. Q: Do you think I can make it to 2021 without buying another book? ~ #bookhaul #tbr #memorial #bryanwashington #eightmen #richardwright #oneflewoverthecuckoosnest #kenkesey #paradise #tonimorrison #maraineysblackbottom #augustwilson #bookbuyingban (had trouble sharing IG posts for a while - catching up on old posts this into is from Nov 2020) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHaSxrhARYT/?utm_medium=tumblr
