I was always hungry for love. Just once, I wanted to know what it was like to get my fill of it -- to be fed so much love I couldn't take any more. Just once.

- Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

I don't want a fictional man. I want to BE fictional. I want to escape this reality and live in a fictional world with him.

I’ve made a little tradition of reading a Florence/Tuscany related book while I’m there! Last year I enjoyed the (very wholesome) Diary of a Tuscan Bookshop, and this year I debated between these two :’)

#I’m still super interested in The Bookseller of Florence but I cannot bring myself to finish non-fiction books if I don’t like them 🫠#studyblr #light academia #cottagecore #dark academia #studyspo #romantic academia #classical art #classical academia #renaissance #florence #firenze

ursula k le guin said sci fi/fantasy does not have to be about giant wars or battles of good and evil or galactic disaster; it is best served as a lens through which to examine what is actually intrinsic to the human condition and what, once removed a few layers from our own perceptions & assumptions, begins to fall apart. and she was correct.

#ursula k le guin #the dispossessed #the left hand of darkness #all her books feel like such a clear message to all of speculative fiction and that message is: YOU ARE ASKING THE WRONG QUESTIONS
