Thank you Dostoevsky for giving us Ivan Karamazov because who else would burnt out, religiously conflicted, academically wasted individuals with various undiagnosed psychological complexes relate to?
When Emily Brontë wrote "It was not the thorn bending to the honeysuckles, but the honeysuckles embracing the thorn" she perfectly described how it feels to be adopted by friends who cherish your innate oddity and capacity to make situation weird by virtue of being there.
We stumbled upon this nifty comic chart by @grantdraws that helps identify conflicts in literature, and we couldn't resist sharing it with you.
Because, let's be real, who doesn't enjoy a good dose of conflict now and then?

Loving the same person for a long time is like rereading your favourite book. The story is reassuringly familiar, but each time you notice new details and understand the themes more deeply. Love is like a comfort book.
BOOK REC REQUEST: I am looking for good, old (up to Anne Rice) Gothic novels and short stories that I might have missed. Among the many I have already read are Carmilla, Rebecca, Rappaccini’s Daughter, The Castle of Otranto, Dracula, Edgar Allan Poe’s stories. Any suggestions?
'Where God Began' by Sri Lankan Tamil author Appadurai Muttulingam, reads like a travelogue, although a disguised one, mapping the illicit adventures of a boy taking up lovers & witnessing murders & the worst of crime writes @pranavi_sharma, @DeccanHerald
