Please, no matter how we advance technologically, please don't abandon the book. There is nothing in our material world more beautiful than the books.

Readers eventually learn that there are books for information, books for enjoyment, and books for transformation.

[Summie's write @RuthSummie]

One underrated benefit of having readers in your life is that they serve as a defense against intellectual fashion. Every year a new trend, philosophy, productivity system, or worldview becomes popular. Readers have usually seen some version of it before. They can help distinguish genuinely useful ideas from recycled hype.

One thing I noticed that’s changed in reading culture is how quickly opinions form.

A book can be finished today and declared a masterpiece or a disaster within hours. But literature doesn’t always reveal itself that quickly. Some books only make sense in hindsight or after.

Speed of opinion is replacing depth of reading.

[Summie's write @RuthSummie]

Does anyone else find that the books they admire the most are rarely the books they enjoy the most?

Some novels leave me intellectually impressed but emotionally cold. Others are deeply flawed, and yet I can't stop thinking about them.

I don't think "good" and "favourite" are always in the same category.

Life pro tip: Find friends who read a lot and tell you about the books they're reading.

[Summie's write @RuthSummie]

If you liked Popular Book, you need to read Lesser Known Book. Same energy, better pacing, half the hype. Trust me on this one.

What is a book everyone seems to love that just did not work for you, and do you still feel a little guilty about it?

[Summie's write @RuthSummie]

If you are not enjoying your book, you are free to close it and never open it again. Even if it's a classic that everyone loved. A book has one job, it literally only has to be interesting. If it's not, have no guilt about not finishing it.

Children are being kidnapped on their way to school, and we are debating the exchange rate.
People cannot afford to eat, and we are talking about 2027.
Bodies are being found, and we have already moved on to the next headline.

This is not a country that is struggling. This is a country that is screaming, and nobody in power is even turning around.

We are not okay!.
We are not okay!!
We are not okay!!!😖

Things bookworms are still mad about

- Inaccurate movie adaptations.
- Ugly stickers printed onto covers.
-Not having enough money to buy all the books.
-Being told not to pile books in front of their door so people cannot visit.
