@la_guerita_al Mi esposa y yo fuimos hace unos años desde Berlin donde vivimos. Entiendo que tal vez para ustedes no sea gran cosa pero para nosotros si es algo para visitar. Es como las pirámides para nosotros. A mi me gusto mucho el Wartburg. Si pasan por Berlin aquí tienen su casa.

[Alex & Books 📚 @AlexAndBooks_]

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."

[📚Cosmos Littéraire🌌 @cosmoslitterair]

Ce roman russe m'a retourné le cerveau. Et je ne m'en suis jamais remis : Le Maître et Marguerite de Mikhaïl Boulgakov.

Le diable débarque à Moscou par une belle journée d'été.
Et tout part en vrille.

C'est drôle, noir, poétique, dérangeant.
C'est une satire du pouvoir, une histoire d'amour fou, une fable sur la liberté : tout à la fois.

Si tu aimes les livres qui ne ressemblent à rien d'autre, celui-là est pour toi.

Tu l'as lu ?

Dis-moi ce que t'en as pensé 👇

[C. Widmann (The Pluriglot) @vuorille]

If your friends aren't talking about:

- Tacitus
- Ancient Greek pitch accent
- Finnish noun cases
- German causatives
- Māori verb aspects
- Russian swearwords
- Circumfixes
- The decline of Arabic poetry
- The etymology of every town you go

It's time to find new friends.

@mariana057 By reading some of these comments, it looks like irony is dead and buried.
