  • Bookmarks!?

    Tell me about your bookmarks! Are you the sort of person who uses whatever is closest? Like a receipt, scrap paper, pen, peg, hair tie or whatever fits between the pages?

    Do you dog ear the page, leave the book flat face down, or just rip off the pages you've already read because who even needs them anymore?

    Or are you the sort of person who has 1 billion bookmarks but always uses the same one (like me)?

    My go to bookmark is the one my fav local book store gives out with purchases and a baby pink one that say "i like to yap about books" in hot pink on it that was given by a friend!

    Buddhist vs Taoist vs Christian schools of thought

    "The mind is fickle and flighty, it flies after fancies wherever it likes: it is difficult indeed to restrain. But it is a great good to control the mind; a mind self-controlled is a source of great joy."

    This verse really caught my eye, because it feels like an excellent example of the overlap and the distinction between the ideologies of these three major religions I've been reading about. They all seem to agree on the first sentence, but the second is where it diverges.

    The Buddhist approach featured here asserts that a person should strive to self-govern their own mind and resist it's flights of fancy in order to reach Nirvana.

    The Christian school of thought tends to suggest that you should let the Christian God handle it, and lay your worries or struggles at the altar, so to speak.

    The Taoist way of doing things, as I understand it, is to simply let your mind wander, and to just enjoy the experience of wherever it takes you, believing that the Universe naturally guides itself, so any effort exerted to govern it is essentially swimming upstream and fighting against the natural way of things.

    Very interesting to see these overlaps and divergences in these religions, and I can only imagine I'll come across many more in my reading.

    what if
we were both digging up dead bodies to dissect and we
fell in love đŸ„șđŸ„č

    kind of dramatic and clichĂ© but incredibly sweet historcial queer romance. i had such a fun time watching these silly little guys fall in love. however. the blurb is lying to you, this book isn’t particularly gothic and only a touch dark imo (unless i’m desensitized from reading too many spooky novels đŸ§đŸ»).
