Books. Why?
So I can talk to other humans without having to meet them.
Fear of boredom.
So that I will never be alone.

Perfect for shy people!
Nice! I really want to read that Erdrich book.
Nice quote and beautiful picture, Eva! I am really intrigued about the Marina Tsvetaeva book! What is it about?
It’s a collection of her poetry; she’s one of my favourite Russian poets. :)
You are the only other person I know who has Sixpence House! Have you read it yet? I liked it a lot. Nice choice of quote.
It is true that we will never be alone as long as we have our books!
<3
I love it! :)
I love the quote, and now i have another book to look for, the one you quoted from! lol I’ve read Six Pence House, it was lovely and not quite what I expected, either. What did you think? love the photo, too.
I actually loved Sixpence House, though as you say it was different from what I imagined it woudl be!
I love the colour scheme of your pictures and the old book spines!
That’s perfect. :)
What an excellent photograph! Good work! :)

Great photo, perfect tones.
Thanks for the photo compliments everyone!
