I write, erase, rewrite Erase again, and then A poppy blooms. Katsushika Hokusai 💙📚 #poetry #haiku #haikuday

Reading The Golden Ass (also known as Metamorphoses), I felt something strangely close and familiar. No wonder: Apuleius, writing in the 2nd century AD, inspired generations of great authors. This ancient novel still feels vivid, playful, and alive. 💙📚 #books #reading #literature #Apuleius

At any rate, let us love for a while, for a year or so, you and me. That’s a form of divine drunkenness that we can all try. There are only diamonds in the whole world, diamonds and perhaps the shabby gift of disillusion. F. Scott Fitzgerald 💙📚 #books #writers #Fitzgerald

The US publishing industry finished 2025 at $14.6B in revenue, according to the Association of American Publishers. Trade books alone were $9.8B. Big market, but still only modest annual growth: +1.1%. 💙📚 #books

A History of Rome is a book that feels vivid, intelligent, surprisingly dramatic. It is more than just history. It is a story of power, ambition, political struggle, and the making of a civilization. Theodor Mommsen won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1902 for this monumental work. 💡💙📚 #books

If you enjoyed Project Hail Mary, you may also like The Andromeda Strain and The Andromeda Evolution. They offer a similar mix of extraterrestrial biology, scientific mystery, and a race to save Earth. Sci-fi readers, what else would you recommend? 🪐💙📚 #books #andyweir #projecthailmary

Finished The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt. What stayed with me most was how truthfully it shows trauma - and the ways people try to outrun it through addiction, lies, escape, and self-destruction A powerful, deeply human novel. A great one for #bookclub discussion. 📚💙 #books #reading #goldfinch #Tartt

After less than a month on Threads, I finally got banned. Permanently, with no right to appeal. Just occasional posts about books and writers, same as here. Without any clear explanation… so I can only assume my IQ was slightly above what the platform is built to tolerate. 🤷‍♂️ 📚💙 #books #threads

The worst thing social media did to reading was convince people that finishing books is a competitive sport. You don’t need to read 50 or 100 books a year. You just need to read. Books you like. At your own pace. And think about them for longer than you spend scrolling. 📚💙 #books #reading

Today is the birthday of John Fowles, a writer who made fiction feel dangerous, strange, and impossible to forget. He wrote novels that unsettle, provoke, and stay with the reader long after the last page. What does John Fowles mean to you as a writer? 📚💙 #books #reading #literature #writers

The very first Nobel Prize in Literature in history was awarded to Sully Prudhomme in 1901. Most people don’t know him today - which makes it even more interesting to read the man who started Nobel literary history. Try his elegant, heartbreaking “The Broken Vase”.

One thing I sometimes envy about AI is its ability to read any book in under a second (with pleasure, I hope). 📚💙 #books #AI

Be happy for this moment. This moment is your life. Omar Khayyam 📚💙

Do you remember your first favorite book? My first real favorite was fairy-tale The Golden Ball. Today I looked up the #writer: professor and author of many academic works. There’s something very moving about smart, busy, serious people who still choose to write #books for children. #bluesky

Today is Jack Kerouac birthday He was a promising college football player. A broken leg ended his sports career — but the long recovery gave him time to read He wrote “On the Road” in a burst of energy that became legendary: typing day and night on a single 120-foot scroll of paper #booksky #books

I’ve just learned that the author of my all-time favorite sci-fi work has passed away couple of weeks ago. Dan Simmons was a true genius, and his 'Hyperion Cantos' changed the way I look at the genre. What a profound loss… 😢 #booksky #writers #sci-fi

Dead yesterdays and unborn tomorrows, why fret about it, if today be sweet. Omar Khayyam #booksky

Today is Gabriel García Márquez birthday. Have you actually conquered his "One Hundred Years of Solitude," or are you still lost in Macondo? #booksky #books #writers #bookclub #book #marquez

A Book of Verses underneath the Bough, A Jug of Wine, A Loaf of Bread—and Thou Beside me singing in the Wilderness— Oh, Wilderness were Paradise enow! — Omar Khayyam #poetry #books #booksky

Who is your favorite author from centuries past—someone you’d love to have among your friends today? 💙📚 #BookSky #AmReading #MondayReads #TBR #BookChallenge #ReadingWomen #WriterSky

A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies, said Jojen. The man who never reads lives only one. George R.R. Martin
