Being hypersensitive, vulnerable and self-reflective is incredibly painful
However, I would never trade it for indifference

The story was engaging and touching, but the ending felt pretentious, as if the author grew tired and padded it with a heavy-handed moralizing element, adding more and more senseless poetic quotes along the way

25.09.2025 11:49 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Just finished reading โA Room of Oneโs Ownโ by Virginia Woolf. It made me more aware and grateful for my freedom to read, to write, to study, and simply to live as I choose. โLock up your libraries if you like; but there is no gate, no lock, no bolt, that you can set upon the freedom of my mindโ

12.09.2025 09:23 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Of all the authors whose books Iโve read, Dovlatov remains my absolute favorite. His language may be very straightforward. It can even seem really rough at times. Yet, his life attitude is so simple, satirical and positive, despite all the hurdles he faced, he is a real role model, if you ask me
