"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

So I've been reading Fire and Blood for a little bit now, and I'm enjoying it a lot more than I thought I would. Just as much as Song of Ice and Fire for me, but as I said before I know this sort of history text type thing isn't for everybody.

But it reminds me of another advantage that hardcover books have - I'm really enjoying the illustrations that come with it. They really help hold the story together. A lot of the time each hardcover edition will have its own illustrations, or not have any. But they leave the illustrations out a lot of the time when the book gets published in paperback.

For hardcover books published from the 20th century onwards, the presence of a dust jacket and its condition also greatly affect value.

My original question was which was more important: The condition of the cover or the condition of the dust jacket? In other words, if you had to choose to put the wear on one or the other, which would be better?
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

The first bullet point mentioned the condition of the book, the fourth mentions the dust cover. I took that to mean the dust cover is less important.

The spine is what's important to me, nothing I hate more than pages falling out even after I've read it (because maybe I want to lend it to someone else and who wants to read a book that's missing pages?).
