Books are sort of like the TARDIS.

Their content exceeds their mass.

And they take us to worlds and times we’ve never dreamed of seeing.

“Books have to be heavy because the whole world’s inside them.”

— Cornelia Funke, Inkheart (via magiquotes)

Now imagine if you’re a little kid and you’ve just finished reading Inkheart.

Quotable Arts by Evan Robertson / Obvious State

High quality giclée prints available at etsy. Distilling literary quotes from a handful of the masters down to a single graphic representation, Evan captures the raw concept of the sentence and makes it damn purty to look at as well.

do you ever think about how weird reading is

our eyes are able to scan these different symbols and construct the scenarios and concepts they describe in our mind

and these concepts have the power to twist our emotions and make us cry and laugh and wow reading is weird

“The Albatros is a new kind of bookmark that follows your reading. No need to remember the page number, each time you turn one, it inserts itself at the right place

“To be the first one to get the Albatros bookmarks, click here.”

Wow. That is clever. 

I… I need it… I always forget to move the bookmark with the page… then I fall asleep and have to spend ages the next day trying to find where I was…

I need this in my life.
