My tumblr dashboard is filled with literature, books, and more
literature. For those of you who are unfamiliar with tumblr, or find that the blogs
tumblr recommends you to follow are absolutely irrelevant, here is the perfect
list for the literary junkie in you.
This list is not exhaustive, but these blogs will be good to begin with.
It was the kind of day in which you forget words and drop things and wonder what it is you came into the room to get because you are standing here for a reason and you have to tell yourself it is just a question of sooner or later before you remember because you always remember once you are here.
The Body Artist, Don De Lillo
When
there is a sea of quotes, you just have to cruise through it. Quotes from the classics to the contemporary, quotes relating from happiness to
sadness to hope, quotes in varying lengths, this place has them covered. Everything
is in a different font too so it keeps me excited. No, seriously. When
everything looks pretty much the same, it gets a tad boring.
If I could have an all-time favourite, it’d be A Sea ofQuotes. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t check out the rest of the blogs.
Even though quotes featured on White Paper Quotes aren’t all
literary quotes, they’re painstakingly handwritten, alphabet-by-alphabet! This
genuine touch is a bonus. You can even submit your favourite quotes to be handwritten, too.
The day has pockets - you can always find time to read.
Susan Sontag
A quaint collection of poetry updated sporadically, Peels ofPoetry is one of my most recent follows. There is nothing fancy about Peels of
Poetry, besides the fact that it is not. I love it simple like this, the
occasional spoken word poetry amidst quotes and poems. You must follow Peels of Poetry if
you like blogs that gives itself a theme and stay true to it.
4. The Booker
The Booker is for you to follow if you’re constantly looking
for something new to read. The writer of the blog does reviews,
recommendations and has even compiled (and is still compiling) a list of
underrated books under her UnderratedBook Project.
5. The Final Sentence
Her life was beastly and devoid of pity,
And being dead, let birds on her take pity.
Titus Andronicus, William Shakespeare
The title should say it all: The final sentences of every
possible literary work ever written. It is quirky and pretty fun to scroll
through.
This is all I have for you right now. I am on the constant
move to look for blogs that have a commitment to literature or any form of art
really. If you have any blogs you would like to recommend, simply let us know about it at our very own tumblr.
