“With this money I can get away from you. From you and your chickens and your pies and your kitchens and everything that smells of grease. I can get away from this shack with its cheap furniture, and this town and its dollar days, and its women that wear uniforms and its men that wear overalls. You think just because you've made a little money you can get a new hairdo and some expensive clothes and turn yourself into a lady. But you can't, because you'll never be anything but a common frump, whose father lived over a grocery store and whose mother took in washing. With this money, I can get away from every rotten, stinking thing that makes me think of this place or you!” ― James M. Cain, Mildred Pierce

AUTHOR EXTRAORDINAIRE

'I make no conscious effort to be tough, or hard-boiled, or grim, or any of the things I am usually called. I merely try to write as the character would write, and I never forget that the average man, from the fields, the streets, the bars, the offices, and even the gutters of his country, has acquired a vividness of speech that goes beyond anything I could invent, and that if I stick to this heritage, this logos of the American countryside, I shall attain a maximum of effectiveness with very little effort.'

'If your writing doesn’t keep you up at night, it won’t keep anyone else up either.'

'A lot of novelists start late – Conrad, Pirandello, even Mark Twain. When you’re young, chess is all right, and music and poetry. But novel-writing is something else. It has to be learned, but it can’t be taught. This bunkum and stinkum of college creative writing courses! The academics don’t know that the only thing you can do for someone who wants to write is to buy him a typewriter."

I've gotten eight more books (I already had three) for my vacation in italy. :) I've been behind on my reading goal for this year, so I figured that since I'll have much much less to do the next two weeks, I should put an effort into getting back on track - and to maybe surpass it.

I'm currently reading 'The Mysterious Affair At Styles' by Agatha Christie, which I will be completing on my way there. The other eleven books on my list are:

'The Bullet That Missed', Richard Osman ( ♡ )

'A User's Guide To The Brain', John J. Ratey ( ♡ )

'The Devil And The Dark Water', Stuart Turton

'The Sundial', Shirley Jackson

'The Postman Always Rings Twice', James M. Cain ( ♡ )

'The Decagon House Murders', Yukito Ayatsuji ( ♡ )

'Flower Fairies Of The Summer', Cicely Mary Barker

'The Murder On The Links', Agatha Christie ( ♡ )

'Axiomatic', Greg Egan

'Lord Of The Flies', William Golding

'The Time Machine', H.G. Wells ( ♡ )

I'm not sure yet in which order I'll be reading these, but the ones with the heart behind are the ones I'm looking forward to the most. 🌙
