Florian, I think you introduced me to Hardcore Literature one year ago, and I can't thank you enough! I read Anna Karenina first and fell absolutely in love.

This year I read East of Eden, Persuasion, Pride and Prejudice, Jane Eyre, and Song of Solomon, sound familiar?:) I am so happy I get to read such amazing books all the rest of my days. It makes me so happy. I can't wait for this year!

I love No. 12 - "That we’ve somehow convinced ourselves the Internet revolutionized access to information when we’ve always had libraries". The library holds such a fond place in my heart as it was where I was able to access books at a super early age since owning books was a luxury for my family growing up 💗✨.

I love libraries so much, they're the greatest public good! On that topic, you might enjoy "Palaces for the people": https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/557044/palaces-for-the-people-by-eric-klinenberg/

My latest read, with a ways to go yet is M Train by Patti Smith.
