Read, read, read. Read everything -- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it. Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.

— William Faulkner.

I took these pictures myself. Some of these books are old, some were just poorly handled over the years, and all were thrifted across the second-hand stores of Dublin.

— William Faulkner.

I reblog bookish content and since I have a home library I also make some of it myself. On my blog, you'll find pictures of books I've taken, book reviews, book recs, favourite quotes shared etc.

The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that 100 years later when a stranger looks at it, it moves again because it is life.

—William Faulkner

Forse hanno fatto bene a mettere l'amore nei libri. Forse non potrebbe sopravvivere da nessun'altra parte.

reading a history of american writers and i can’t stop thinking about how william faulkner became commercially viable because his publishers paid the 1931 equivalent of nearly $10k to be featured on depression-era booktok

#i keep coming back to this #literature #william faulkner #booktok #books #i have no opinion on book influencers i love that people love reading i just think it’s incredible how time is a flat circle
