jk rowling's new reputation will never not be funny to me. when you see her name now you dont think "oh yeah thats the chick who wrote harry potter" you think "oh lord, this TERF bitch again" like bro how do you fuck up so bad that your fuck ups overshadow writing the third most read piece of literature in existence

#literally like I was saying earlier!#these books could have just quietly gone down in history as a much-beloved piece of children's/teen fiction#and people would have been like 'it's kind of problematic but the pros outweigh the cons so I'll read it to the kids'#but Rowling was SO desperate to keep herself relevant that she's driven HP into the fucking earth

As a person who is dying for book recommendations: What is a book you picked up randomly that you heard nothing about previously that blew you away?

I feel like we all have at least one hidden gem we stumbled upon.

Please reblog with your books in the tags :)

OH GOD I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS AT ALL.

This is from The Fault in Our Stars, in which Augustus’s family hang Live/Laugh/Love-like calligraphic quotations on their walls. Hazel and Augustus make fun of these quotations because they simplify/essentialize complexities of suffering and injustice. The whole point of this is that these quotes won't suffice, because Hazel and Gus are looking for the kinds of meaning that can withstand the reality of suffering (and, eventually, the finality of it).

So yeah. Okay. I'll probably delete this later.
