I live in my own little world, but its okay! They know me here

[Reads with Ravi @readswithravi]

Umberto Eco, who owned 50,000 books, had this to say about home libraries:

“It is foolish to think that you have to read all the books you buy, as it is foolish to criticize those who buy more books than they will ever be able to read. It would be like saying that you should use all the cutlery or glasses or screwdrivers or drill bits you bought before buying new ones.

“There are things in life that we need to always have plenty of supplies, even if we will only use a small portion.

“If, for example, we consider books as medicine, we understand that it is good to have many at home rather than a few: when you want to feel better, then you go to the ‘medicine closet’ and choose a book. Not a random one, but the right book for that moment. That’s why you should always have a nutrition choice!

“Those who buy only one book, read only that one and then get rid of it. They simply apply the consumer mentality to books, that is, they consider them a consumer product, a good. Those who love books know that a book is anything but a commodity.”

@TAKEALOT I pre-ordered this on 5 Januarie 2024, selected collection 5 minutes from your CPT warehouse - it has still not been shipped. All my friends that ordered delivery already received their packages and the collection ones are still waiting! What does pre-ordering even help then?

@k9_reaper Do you have more information on this?

Not sure if anyone has already sent this to @Shamz04 but look!

i’ve made a lot of mistakes in my life but at least I’ve never tried to depreciate land

I’m not crying, you’re crying!

@MYANC After every ANC-MP can show proof of their use of a state hospital, we can consider NHI.

“Did you just depreciate land?”

The crowd refuses to sing the national anthem on the arrival of Cyril.

Why must we sing the country’s song when they have failed us. #SAShutdown

@maryna_145 How did you not get to vote? There were 3 different ways and the lines were open for 2 days longer because it is the finals.
