Keep good company,
Read good books,
Love good things,
and cultivate soul and body
as faithfully and wisely as I can.Louisa May Alcott

I’d rather take coffee than compliments just now.”
― Louisa May Alcott, Little WomenThe world's first known coffee house, Kiva Han, opened in Constantinople in 1475. Coffee Houses became known as 'Penny Universities', where a single copper coin could buy you a cup and an earful of intellectual debate.

CW: Chronic Illness, Parenting...
For parents with children who have #chronicillness some stories we read as children are a return to sweet memories and relief. Others will knock you on your ass and gut you like they never did when you were young. Rewatching/reading Little Women is tortuous now, Beth's passing is like a frozen knife to the heart. The anxiety Marmy must have lived with makes you understand her deep pain and reminds you of all your dark days.
Must tread these waters carefully. #Alcott

Turun kaupunginteatterin suuren näyttämön toteutus Pikku naisista oli komea ja kosminen. Kirja ja elokuvat kulkivat mukana, mutta tulkinta oli omansalainen, hyvässä mielessä. #PikkuNaisia #Alcott #LittleWomen

Not literally #MyTopShelf -- more like the middle -- but this is the center of gravity, with #Alcott on the upper left, just a dab of #HenryJames because most of it's at home, and a long, uneven line of #Melville extending all the way to the edge.
