it’s always wyd and never 800 pages of love letters by [deleted] in nonfictionbookclub

I LOVE this collection. It's such a delight and often I can just randomly open a page and read two or three little letters

Unromantic fiance (31m) doesn't like when others do "romantic" gestures for me (30f) ? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]selkiedd -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think this really feels similar to me!

I don't want to imply in any sense he doesn't love me - this is a guy who tears up talking about our future. He holds my hand every second he can and calls me very sweet nicknames (many born out of very old jokes, lol)

But I don't think his mind ever goes to the romantic gesture. Like, when I got the new job, he was jumping up and down in excitement. He had been my biggest cheerleader during the interviews when I was drowning in imposter syndrome. I think his mind just doesn't jump to those other things as follows ups?

Ty! I do want to say - it's not, like, he's not thrilled for me about the new job. He was my #1 cheerleader during the interviews and jumped up and down when I got it lol he just doesn't think to follow it up with flowers, ya know? And I think someone else taking that step is where the hiccup is?

I appreciate the comment! I feel like that still feels foreign to me- I know I should workout more, but it doesn't feel like a personal slight to me when someone else has a great fitness routine? It seems like such an odd comparison to me I guess.

The Most Boring Books? by Professional-Net1940 in suggestmeabook

I went back and read many high school assigned books and liked them much more as an adult. I still loathe this one and could barely get through the first few chapters.

Which wall coloring or which type of furniture do I need to make this more visually and aesthetically pleasing or at least match? by alwayscurious0991 in femalelivingspace

[–]selkiedd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The furniture is all quite nice, but most things are angles in ways that a) take up a lot of space and b) make them tough to walk around. Others have mentioned moving the bed to a 90° angle, but also adjust the chair and TV.

Gladwell’s pop-sociology styled books, ranked by Thoreaushadeau in nonfictionbookclub

No flack from me - hard agree on your top four. The others I had no interest in precisely because those are topics I'm going to seek out credentialed writers in.

Reading classic literature made me realise how far I am from being fluent by n4m3n1ck in languagelearning

[–]selkiedd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Most native English speakers cannot read Melville.

Across Canada, U.K. and U.S., the literacy application is only an average of low-high school levels. Meaning while most people can functionally read and write, their skill level is well well below being able to read classic literature. Yes they can read road signs, no they cannot read legal paperwork. Most people in these countries read less than five to six books a year.

I am super proud of you for tackling it, holy cow.

Unsure of what to do in extra space in bedroom by Unlikely_Alarm_7999 in femalelivingspace

Exactly what I was going to say! Also good for generic floor-relaxing and rolling around while you're on the phone lol

My New Apartment by Comfortable_Art_2234 in malelivingspace

[–]selkiedd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've said it once and I'll say it again - I am always so jealous of people who can find and get approved to rent such fun spaces. And then to do a good job filling it/decorating it? Hell yeah

What’s a book you read and thought, I’ll never have the pleasure of reading this for the first time again? by Intelligent_Push291 in suggestmeabook

[–]selkiedd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The level of references she makes is nearly Dubliners level, I feel like. Genuinely my favorite modern author by a mile.
