Books I’ve read these Two Months

Berikut buku yang selama dua bulan ini aku baca & hayati, beserta sepenggal paragraf / kalimat yang aku selalu ingat & suka: 🔖

1. The Handmaid’s Tale 🥀

“I wait. I compose myself. My self is a thing I must now compose, as one composes a speech. What I must present is a made thing, not something born.”

“She doesn’t make speeches any more. She has become speechless. She stays in her home, but it doesn’t seem to agree with her. How furious she must be, now that she’s been taken at her word.”

2. Eleanor & Park 🤍

Park’s:

“She only came back when she felt like it, in dreams and lies and broken-down déjà vu.”

Eleanor’s:

“Standing behind him until he turned his head. Lying next to him just before he woke up. Making everyone else seem drabber and flatter and never good enough.”

3. All the Bright Places 🔆

“I feel a thousand capacities spring up in me. I am arch, gay, languid, melancholy by turns. I am rooted, but I flow. All gold, flowing …”

“… I like to think of what it would be like if we were swallowed, just like that. Suddenly none of this would matter. No more worrying about where we’re going or what’s to become of us or if we’ll ever disappoint another person again. All of it—just … gone.”

4. Your Soul is a River 🌌

13 BILLION YEAR OLD ATOMS

Our bodies were made

to house oceans of galaxies,

and our souls are rivers

that have flowed through centuries.

BEAUTIFUL , TERRIBLE THINGS

You are a thing

both beautiful

and terrible,

and you deserve

someone

who treats you

like the moon

and can love

the dark side

of your soul too.
