They say fiction is an escape. Meanwhile, my favorite characters are suffering more than I am. What does that say about me? #BookSky πŸ’™πŸ“š

Anatomy says the quickest way to a person's heart is through the left 5th intercostal space at the midclavicular line, but life experience says a plate of good food gets you there even faster.

I’m pretty sure the world won’t end today because it’s already tomorrow somewhere. Keep moving.

Getting to know new characters and authors can be deeply personal for meβ€”it's like meeting new acquaintances who, over time, become close friends. #BookSky πŸ’™πŸ“š

β€œAny experienced hustler will tell you that getting greedy is the quickest road to prison.” ~The Autobiography of Malcolm X.

β€œHustling society’s first rule; Never trust anyone outside of your own close-mouthed circle, and select with time and care before you make any intimates even among these.” ~The Autobiography of Malcolm X.

β€˜β€˜Anytime you find someone more successful than you are, especially when you’re both engaged in the same businessβ€”you know they’re doing something that you aren’t.” ~The Autobiography of Malcolm X.

β€œI have no mercy or compassion in me for a society that will crush people, and then penalize them for not being able to stand up under the weight.” ~The Autobiography of Malcolm X.

Ready for the evening with A Little Life. Based on the reviews, I'm buckled for the roller coaster ride! #BookSky πŸ’™πŸ“š

If you find yourself wondering if a new book will solve all your problems today, the answer is yes

"Friendship is everything. Friendship is more than talent. It is more than the Government. It is almost the equal of family." ~The Godfather. #BookSky πŸ’™πŸ“š

'Clemenza was a storyteller; Vito Corleone was a listener to storytellers. They became casual friends.'~The Godfather by Mario Puzo. That's basically every friendship ever, one talks and overshares, the other says uh-huhs to get through it. #BookSky πŸ’™πŸ“š

They say you can't read all day if you don't start in the morning. But honestly, you still can even if you start at noon, though that might mean reading all night instead. Who needs sleep anyway?" #BookSky πŸ’™πŸ“š

My best combo for touring the world right now: books and Euro Truck Simulator 2. Between chapters, I'm delivering virtual goods across countries. All the balance I never knew I needed! #BookSky πŸ’™πŸ“š

just finished reading The Godfather by Mario Puzo and from now on, instead of saying, 'can we talk?' I'll just say, 'I'll make you an offer you can't refuse.'

"Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book." ~John Green (The Fault in Our Stars) #BookSky πŸ’™πŸ“š

Have you ever read a line so fine, you close the book, stare into the void, then try to recite it out dramatically and have to remind yourself, β€˜it’s just fiction, calm down’? #BookSky πŸ’™πŸ“š

you know it's a good book when you're like, 'i've solved it!' and the author is like, 'hold my plot twist.' πŸ’™πŸ“š #BookSky

Every time I hold a book, I find myself wondering about the behind-the-scenes process,the countless hours spent researching, the doubts about getting the words right. Hats off to all authors who make us feel deeply, keeping readers turning one page after another, lost in their creations. πŸ’™πŸ“š #BookSky

anyone else get that mini heart attack when asked, 'what is your favorite book?' and suddenly recovers and list a library's worth of books and how each one made you feel? πŸ’™πŸ“š #BookSky

you got to love readers 'cause they will be like: 'this book completely wrecked me emotionally... highly recommend, so we can cry together.' #BookSky πŸ’™πŸ“š

do you like a little background music while reading or do you prefer the sweet sound of silence? πŸ’™πŸ“š #BookSky

do we all get that hollow feeling after finishing a great book and then just sit staring into the void like,'cool. so, what am I supposed to do with my life now?' πŸ’™πŸ“š #BookSky

Can we normalize talking about books even if we forgot the entire plot? like, the storyline? no clue. the characters? who knows. the vibe? on point, so yeah, 5 stars. πŸ’™πŸ“š #BookSky

when a book ends on a cliffhanger and you have to wait a year for the sequel. Me: I guess I'll just deal with the emotional trauma until then. πŸ’™πŸ“š #BookSky

tbr lists be like: 60% are books you were so excited to read but immediately forgot, 20% are books you felt you should read and the other 20% you just have no idea how they found themselves in there but you're fully committed to them now. πŸ’™πŸ“š #BookSky

After my final exams, I took up video editing. At first, it was rough, the software was complex,and I struggled to understand it. I’m not at an expert level yet,but I’m happy with the progress.This journey has truly shown me that consistency, patience, and perseverance are key in pursuing any skill.

I've always wondered how do people build a lifelong habit of learning beyond Medical School. What keeps them motivated and curious over the years? #MedSky
