“That is part of the beauty of all literature. You discover that your longings are universal longings, that you’re not lonely and isolated from anyone. You belong.” - F.

But sometimes the truth arrives on you and you can’t get it off. That’s when you realize that sometimes it isn’t even an answer—it’s a question. Even now, I wonder how much of my life is convinced.”<br/><br/> - <em>Markus Zusak, <em>The Book Thief</em> (via <a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://larmoyante.tumblr.com/">larmoyante</a>)</em>http://lifethroughliterature.tumblr.com/post/33873793347http://lifethroughliterature.tumblr.com/post/33873793347Thu, 18 Oct 2012 20:02:34 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m8ey9loLlL1rog6hko1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://lifethroughliterature.tumblr.com/post/28949896620http://lifethroughliterature.tumblr.com/post/28949896620Tue, 07 Aug 2012 18:46:32 -0700literaturequotesteen novelsmortal enginesphilip reeve<iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/mZEZ35Fhvuc?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>Life of Pi trailer is out!</p>http://lifethroughliterature.tumblr.com/post/28391167310http://lifethroughliterature.tumblr.com/post/28391167310Mon, 30 Jul 2012 21:49:00 -0700life of pilit moviesliteraturemoviesyann martel<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7p4fnRIaS1rog6hko1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://lifethroughliterature.tumblr.com/post/27955175898http://lifethroughliterature.tumblr.com/post/27955175898Tue, 24 Jul 2012 20:02:11 -0700a clockwork orangeliteraturequotesAnthony Burgess<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7o7yqKxMf1rog6hko1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://lifethroughliterature.tumblr.com/post/27911109219http://lifethroughliterature.tumblr.com/post/27911109219Tue, 24 Jul 2012 08:20:50 -0700The Fault in Our Starsjohn greennovelliteraturequotesaugustus watershazel grace<iframe width="400" height="225" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" src="http://hub.video.msn.com/embed/de538e25-c9ea-4337-b191-c664ebb06875/?vars=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"> </iframe><br/><br/><p>Anna Karenina trailer is out!</p>http://lifethroughliterature.tumblr.com/post/25551897188http://lifethroughliterature.tumblr.com/post/25551897188Wed, 20 Jun 2012 20:26:10 -0700anna kareninamovietolstoy<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4ve9flDQV1rog6hko1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://lifethroughliterature.tumblr.com/post/24112940050http://lifethroughliterature.tumblr.com/post/24112940050Wed, 30 May 2012 21:39:15 -0700where the wild things aremaurice sendakquotesnovelsbooksliteraturechildren's books<iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/OULhlaX6JY4?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/>http://lifethroughliterature.tumblr.com/post/23592228398http://lifethroughliterature.tumblr.com/post/23592228398Tue, 22 May 2012 21:06:28 -0700great gatsbyf scott fitzgerald<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4g8e5f5rH1rrx8xeo1_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4g8e5f5rH1rrx8xeo2_r1_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4g8e5f5rH1rrx8xeo3_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4g8e5f5rH1rrx8xeo4_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><p>Great Gatsby -
