For many of us, they are a way out of reality: books. In them, you will find fantastic, creepy, dark, exciting and fascinating worlds that captivate us again and again.

And perhaps this post is also an incentive to open a very specific book again and be carried away.

last year, i went on a date with a dude and when i told him i was reading Animal Farm again, he laughed obnoxiously for an entire minute and said i was too old to be reading children’s books.
