i love finding traces of people in things. i borrowed crime and punishment from the library some time ago and found a library receipt for a russian grammar book in between the pages. perhaps this person also had a copy of crime and punishment in its original language and was studying russian, and had used the library receipt as a bookmark. if i recall correctly, this wasn't very far into the book. it makes me wonder if they ever managed to finish reading it at all.

There is something about classic literature that hits different - which is not to say that modern literature lacks depth - there is just something so incredible about reading something and knowing that these same words were consumed by people decades, centuries before you took your first breath. And they loved and felt the stories the way you do& despite all the time separating you you’re still connected…
