on reading & literature
Sometimes we can’t read because we are too tired to hold another thought. Reading requires a self steady enough to make room for someone else’s voice.
The real reasons why you are not reading
my hot take is that you don't need a guide to "learn how to read the classics". they're just books, that are old, and tend to be better than the new ones because all the bad ones were forgotten. you just pick them up, open the first page and go. no guide needed
