I'd like to read more classic literature but I'm slightly overwhelmed with alllll the editions available for a lot of classic books. I tend to gravitate towards the Penguin editions as they're easily available, but was wondering if anyone had any thoughts/experiences with Oxford World Classics or any others for example? I like having notes to help me understand the novel better, though I don't necessarily want to be bogged down with endless notes :)

Hello guys I’m in the middle of One Hundred Years of Solitude and I was wondering… Do you ever, when finishing a book, take the time to read actual literary articles about the book you’ve just finished, in order to really understand what you’ve just read? I feel like I’m going to need it because there are a lot of things I don’t understand, mainly due to the writing style. So, if you do research your readings (especially when dealing with classics), what do you read/watch/listen to? (I imagine there must be podcasts of some sort but I was really hoping for recommendations) Thanks a looooot

Hii, I really want to read a fantasy or historical fiction set in ancient Rome or Greece but I cannot find any. This time period is so rich and I love it so dearly but I feel like it's not very represented or popular in the publishing industry. Please if you know any good books like that help me. Rick Riordan, Madeline Miller and Jenifer Saint are pretty cool but I need mooooore 🏺🏛️

Hiiii It’s time for Who’s Who Wednesday where every Wednesday we introduce ourselves and make new friends. This is part 11. I think

If you participated any of the times before, you don’t have to introduce yourself again but you can share some different facts about you, an opinion you have, or how your week is going.

If you’re new, introduce yourself!

I’ll go first.

It’s cold AF here in Pensacola Florida and I am cranky because I hate the cold (edit: it’s not really that cold here I’m just dramatic. Reading about everyone here in SUPER cold weather makes me want to clarify this 💀 )

I’ve been spiraling for two days bc my school sent me a notice of academic probation and then 2 days later said they made a mistake and I’m actually doing exceedingly well. Thanks. I’ve literally not been sleeping.

I like white cake with white icing. Preferable fluffy icing. Like whipped. Not the super sweet kind. Also my family makes banana pudding. Like, a lot.
