it starts with the tiniest spark—someone mentions a book in passing, or i stumble across a blog post claiming, “this novel will change your life.” a quick google search later, i’m on one of those shady, popup-filled websites, heart racing, fingers poised to click “download.” the thrill is undeniable, like i’m part of some underground rebellion.
I'm completely the same lol with physical books... I have thousands stored in my room and I haven't read all of them yet... I have this strange obsession of buying them thinking to myself I will read them... look at them and feel guilty about not reading them but feel joy at looking at them (send help to understand that one)... I think it's just normal for people to be like this with many things. I think life has a lot to answer for as well because everyone is busy and we don't have the time for things
reminds me of the fig tree reference from bell jar, your fig tree would probably have lots of unread epubs you could've read but never did, and also, loved the way you described all of this into words, because this is so relatable lol :')
