Recently read a book that made me tear up towards the end. Book is Niels Lyhne. Start at page 236, and read till page 257.


>It is impossible, Niels, that it should all be over, when we die. You don't feel it, you who are well, you think it must kill us quite, because we are so weak, and everything seems to pass away, but it is only the world outside, within us there is as much soul as before. It is there, Niels: I have it all within me, everything that has been given me, the same infinite world, but more quiet, more alone with myself, as when you close your eyes.

>How her childhood faith welled up once more! She was again the little girl who went to church clinging to her mother's hand and sat there shivering with cold and wondering why people sinned so much.

I just posted all the books I own...

How to reclaim my attention span of reading a book? My mind literally starts wandering off 2 minutes into reading.
