Tbrbooks - Tumblr Posts
i love thriftbooks. i can buy books for cheap without worrying about spending too much money like at barnes and knobles. i have lots of books on my shelf that i have not read fully or at all, and i hope to conquer some day. for now i will build up my army of unread books so when i retire in my cottage near a national park or very wooded area with my spouse or spouses and maybe some lovely critters (maybe a big mancoon cat and tegu or parrot) i can finally read all those books that i stocked up on in my youth. i will no longer feel guilty looking at my bookshelf but rather feel a sense of pride that i have gained so much knowledge.
Actors and their favourite books
Tom Hiddleston - Any human heart
Hiddleston mentioned in a tweet, that this was one of his favourite novels.
Colin Firth - The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge
"I don't think I've ever read such descriptions of what it would be like to lose your grip. He has a vision that makes you less sure of your surroundings—and I find that stimulating."
Natalie Portman - Cloud Atlas
"This was the present I gave everyone I knew for three years. It's six different stories told in different time periods and genres: One is historical fiction, another is a '70s thriller mystery, the sixth is a post¬apocalyptic story"
Daniel Radcliffe - The Master and Margarita
"It's now my favorite novel—it's just the greatest explosion of imagination, craziness, satire, humor, and heart."
Timothee Chalamet - And then the End will come
Chalamet mentioned in an interview, that he really loved this book
Morgan Freeman - The Poisonwood Bible
“Some of the best writers are women writers – Barbara Kingsolver, Joyce Carol Oates. They just don’t get enough play.”
Margot Robbie - The five poeple you meet in heaven
I love that book. It felt very different, moving and heartfelt. It made me think. It’s a quick read, it’s a good one to recommend over the holidays.”
Cate Blanchett - The true history of the Kelly Gang
"Carey is one of my favorite writers. In Kelly Gang, the narrative voice is so unique. We Australians all know about Ned Kelly, but what Carey does is get inside his character's mind in such an illuminating and heartrending way. Aand there's not a trace of sentimentality in it. I so admire that as an actor, because I realize how difficult it is to do."
