Reading.

Ontem chegou para mim um texto muito fofo: Date a girl who reads {Rosemary Urquico}.

Ele se encontra em www.meantforsilence.blogspot.com.

Gostei do nome do blog... adorei o texto.

Fiquei um pouco triste, confesso. Ao ler a delicadeza, senti como se eu escrevesse com luvas de aço.

Mas, em alguns trechos, eu me vi muito claramente.

E são eles que trago aqui, hoje. Enjoy!

Find a girl who reads. You’ll know that she does because she will always have an unread book in her bag. She’s the one lovingly looking over the shelves in the bookstore, the one who quietly cries out when she finds the book she wants. You see the weird chick sniffing the pages of an old book in a second hand book shop? That’s the reader. They can never resist smelling the pages, especially when they are yellow.

She’s the girl reading while waiting in that coffee shop down the street. If you take a peek at her mug, the non-dairy creamer is floating on top because she’s kind of engrossed already. Lost in a world of the author’s making. Sit down. She might give you a glare, as most girls who read do not like to be interrupted. Ask her if she likes the book.

Buy her another cup of coffee.

Let her know what you really think of Murakami.

Essa para mim foi a melhor... E me lembrou um trecho de Murakami himself, em After Dark. Um diálogo que amo entre o garoto  meio sem noção e a menina que lê. Genial.
 

Understand that she knows the difference between books and reality but by god, she’s going to try to make her life a little like her favorite book. It will never be your fault if she does.

She has to give it a shot somehow.

Why be frightened of everything that you are not? Girls who read understand that people, like characters, develop. Except in the Twilight series.

Boa também. Realmente, eu adoro twilight, mas aquele povo não se movimenta.

If you find a girl who reads, keep her close. When you find her up at 2 AM clutching a book to her chest and weeping, make her a cup of tea and hold her. You may lose her for a couple of hours but she will always come back to you. She’ll talk as if the characters in the book are real, because for a while, they always are.

Date a girl who reads because you deserve it. You deserve a girl who can give you the most colorful life imaginable. If you can only give her monotony, and stale hours and half-baked proposals, then you’re better off alone. If you want the world and the worlds beyond it, date a girl who reads.

Or better yet, date a girl who writes.

Big Smile...
