Went to back to the library as a treat! Not gonna lie, I felt so self-conscious with my arms full of books. And then I walked briskly back to the art section to grab this gigantic Caravaggio beast. I half-wondered if anyone was going to stop me at the checkout cause I am silly like that. I still have one book to finish and a Japanese history book that I just renewed. Oh and two more books on hold. I exercised some self-control, honestly. I would have gotten another one two three eight. 🤣🤣🤣 I felt so thirsty. They have a really cool poetry section and there was this one Yeats creature I do not have and some Rilke and alkfjlajflja;; I passed under a sign on the way out that described the library as a place for knowledge and exploration. Yep, that’s me. 📚
I’m crying, their art section is so huge and so beautiful. I saw about a zillion things that I want to check out. I feel like I have been starving...but was unaware.
Read the first few lines of 凍りのくじら (Ice Whale) and just had to pick it up. The title of the first part was, more or less, “the door to everywhere”. That and I was struck by the first line in the prologue...something about ‘why is it that you paint light so beautifully’ which..captivated me. The Crusades because I have been obsessed lately and then I chanced upon a manga about musicians. And well, WELL...
...how could i say ‘no’ to that?
