I love small books like this, the good ones are usually bigger on the inside.
What is your all time favorite book? And when I say favorite I mean the book you actually think about all the time, and that you would always be ready to pick up and read again, (if you haven't already read it a million times) and would probably never get bored of.
Also I don't know if this is a hot take or not but I think everyone should make a favourites shelf for their custom shelves in their library... Definitely not because after I see something interesting on someone's book taste I like to stalk their library to see just how many of their favourite books I've read or also have as a favourite... Just a fun and convenient way to see how many books you have in common 😁👀

A Month in the Country
J.L. Carr
In J. L. Carr's deeply charged poetic novel, Tom Birkin, a veteran of the Great War and a broken marriage, arrives in the remote Yorkshire village of Oxgodby where he is to restore a recently discovered medieval mural in the local church. Living in the bell tower, surrounded by the resplendent countryside of high summer, and laboring each day to uncover an anonymous painter's depiction of the apocalypse, Birkin finds that he himself has been restored to a new, and hopeful, attachment to life. But summer ends, and with the work done, Birkin must leave. Now, long after, as he reflects on the passage of time and the power of art, he finds in his memories some consolation for all that has been lost.
