]]> If reading happens to be your favorite hobby, you probably can’t imagine a single day without a book in your hands—even when you travel. Unfortunately, books can take a lot of space in your luggage, so here are three things you should keep in mind before packing them.

Time Management

No matter how passionate you feel about books, you may struggle to find time for reading in certain situations. If you’re going to relax at the beach all day, you’ll have time for reading, but that won’t be the case if you’re out sightseeing most of the time—so pack your books accordingly.

Travel Time

The amount of time you spend on your commute will also determine how much you’re going to read. If your trip includes long rides on a bus or a train, feel free to pack enough books to keep you busy and pass the time.

Space Saver

If you don’t want to waste any suitcase space on books, but still want to read, there are several options you should consider. Replacing physical books with ebooks and audiobooks is the most obvious choice, but you can also do your reading at local book cafés.

]]> Hotels of Pyongyang, a new book written by James Scullin with photos by Nicole Reed, shows the unexpectedly colorful accommodation available in the capital of North Korea.

Scullin has visited North Korea eight times so far and hotels have always been the best part of his trips. Hotels are also the only place where you can get to know the locals so they are much more important than it looks. He recently wrote a book titled Hotels of Pyongyang that features photographs by Nicole Reed and shows the reader this incredible, isolated part of the world.

Scullin’s first visit to North Korea was a part of an approved tour group. He then started leading similar trips and got more and more familiar with the city of Pyongyang. He noticed other hotels in the city and wanted to explore them further.

In such a peculiar country, hotels are one of the only ways to show the local culture to foreigners. It’s crazy to think about, but this isolated country has some of the most beautiful hotels you’ll ever see.

Photographer Reed noticed one odd thing—she couldn’t find coffee anywhere but in the hotel cafes. This made her like the hotels even more. She took plenty of photos of people who work in hotels and managed to capture them in the best possible way.

]]> Oxford is a magical city in the UK that inspired many writers throughout history. It’s also home to the oldest university in the country. Authors and poets like Lewis Carroll, J. R. R. Tolkien, Oscar Wilde, and many others visited the city and wrote some of their best works while there.

If you love books, Oxford needs to be on your list of cities to visit. It will charm you with amazing architecture and so many bookshops, especially independent, charity, and second-hand shops.

One of the most famous bookstores in Oxford is Blackwell. It was founded in 1879 and if you don’t know about it, you can easily miss it. The outside doesn’t look too glamorous, but inside you will find Norrington Room, the largest single room selling books in the world. It contains three miles of shelves and it has pretty much everything from serious academic works to the latest non-fiction bestsellers.

Another great place to visit is The Last Bookshop, a charming store located near the city center in the suburb of Jericho. It’s the place where you will find cheap second-hand books and discover some real gems.

After you’re done browsing, visit one of the many literary pubs in Oxford for a relaxing night out!

]]> If reading and traveling happen to be two of your favorite hobbies, there are many creative ways to combine them into one. Here are some fun travel ideas for all the literature lovers out there.

Reading and Traveling

The easiest way to channel your love for both books and travel is reading on the road or focusing on travel-themed books. You can take things to a new level by reading novels taking place or written by authors from the country you’re visiting.

Um livro sobre velhice e amor.⠀ ⠀ Ao completar 90 anos o protagonista (sem nome) resolve dar-se de presente uma noite com uma virgem e procura a cafetina da cidade para lhe arranjar essa pessoa. A cafetina acha uma virgem e a contrata, mas antes lhe dá um chá calmante que, combinado com o cansaço de seu trabalho como pregadora de botões, está sempre dormindo durante os encontros. Isso seria um tanto perturbador, mas o que acontece é que ele nunca consegue acordá-la para consumar o ato e acaba desenvolvendo uma relação projetiva com ela, e ela com ele. Não deixa de ser perturbador o fato de estarmos falando de uma menina de 14 anos adormecida, mas gosto de interpretar esses detalhes como metáfora do contraste entre velhice e junventude.⠀ ⠀ O protagonista passa a imaginar uma personalidade para ela e nega qualquer evidência de sua personalidade real. Lembra muitos relacionamentos, né?⠀ Ao mesmo tempo evoca a figura materna, também muito idealizada, mesmo quando descobre fatos que lhe foram ocultados. Não precisa ser psicanalista para notar a semelhança das duas relações…⠀ ⠀ Também nos é informado que ele apenas teve relações sexuais com prostitutas e desistiu do casamento com a noiva no dia do casamento – difícil se relacionar com alguém real quando a mãe ainda ocupa o lugar mais importante de seu coração. E é fácil manter a mãe nesse lugar se todas as mulheres com quem se relaciona são pagas e ele fica com cada uma por poucas horas. A relação só se torna possível com a menina adormecida que se presta a qualquer coisa que ele projetar.⠀ ⠀ Um livro que eu gostaria de ver analisado por Freud.⠀ ⠀ ⠀ Por psicóloga Fernanda Soibelman Kilinski⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #repensandoapsicologia #psicólogafernandakilinski #psicanalise #freud #bookstagram #dicadelivro #ler #gabrielgarciamarquez #premionobeldeliteratura #memoriademinhasputastristes #livro #lerfazbem #leitoracompulsiva #leitura #livros #resenhaliteraria #analisedelivros

Bookstores and Libraries

You probably can’t resist visiting bookstores and libraries in your own city on a regular basis, so why not do the same in every new country you visit? You’ll end up spending hours searching through the shelves, looking for a perfect book to take home as a souvenir.

Literature-Themed Trips

Planning trips inspired by your favorite books and authors is also an option. You can visit their homes, places that served as inspiration for their books, and filming locations featured in TV and movie adaptations of your favorite novels.

]]> Oxford is a magical city in the UK that inspired many writers throughout history. It’s also home to the oldest university in the country. Authors and poets like Lewis Carroll, J. R. R. Tolkien, Oscar Wilde, and many others visited the city and wrote some of their best works while there.

If you love books, Oxford needs to be on your list of cities to visit. It will charm you with amazing architecture and so many bookshops, especially independent, charity, and second-hand shops.

One of the most famous bookstores in Oxford is Blackwell. It was founded in 1879 and if you don’t know about it, you can easily miss it. The outside doesn’t look too glamorous, but inside you will find Norrington Room, the largest single room selling books in the world. It contains three miles of shelves and it has pretty much everything from serious academic works to the latest non-fiction bestsellers.

Another great place to visit is The Last Bookshop, a charming store located near the city center in the suburb of Jericho. It’s the place where you will find cheap second-hand books and discover some real gems.

After you’re done browsing, visit one of the many literary pubs in Oxford for a relaxing night out!

Um livro sobre velhice e amor.⠀ ⠀ Ao completar 90 anos o protagonista (sem nome) resolve dar-se de presente uma noite com uma virgem e procura a cafetina da cidade para lhe arranjar essa pessoa. A cafetina acha uma virgem e a contrata, mas antes lhe dá um chá calmante que, combinado com o cansaço de seu trabalho como pregadora de botões, está sempre dormindo durante os encontros. Isso seria um tanto perturbador, mas o que acontece é que ele nunca consegue acordá-la para consumar o ato e acaba desenvolvendo uma relação projetiva com ela, e ela com ele. Não deixa de ser perturbador o fato de estarmos falando de uma menina de 14 anos adormecida, mas gosto de interpretar esses detalhes como metáfora do contraste entre velhice e junventude.⠀ ⠀ O protagonista passa a imaginar uma personalidade para ela e nega qualquer evidência de sua personalidade real. Lembra muitos relacionamentos, né?⠀ Ao mesmo tempo evoca a figura materna, também muito idealizada, mesmo quando descobre fatos que lhe foram ocultados. Não precisa ser psicanalista para notar a semelhança das duas relações…⠀ ⠀ Também nos é informado que ele apenas teve relações sexuais com prostitutas e desistiu do casamento com a noiva no dia do casamento – difícil se relacionar com alguém real quando a mãe ainda ocupa o lugar mais importante de seu coração. E é fácil manter a mãe nesse lugar se todas as mulheres com quem se relaciona são pagas e ele fica com cada uma por poucas horas. A relação só se torna possível com a menina adormecida que se presta a qualquer coisa que ele projetar.⠀ ⠀ Um livro que eu gostaria de ver analisado por Freud.⠀ ⠀ ⠀ Por psicóloga Fernanda Soibelman Kilinski⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #repensandoapsicologia #psicólogafernandakilinski #psicanalise #freud #bookstagram #dicadelivro #ler #gabrielgarciamarquez #premionobeldeliteratura #memoriademinhasputastristes #livro #lerfazbem #leitoracompulsiva #leitura #livros #resenhaliteraria #analisedelivros

Bookstores and Libraries

You probably can’t resist visiting bookstores and libraries in your own city on a regular basis, so why not do the same in every new country you visit? You’ll end up spending hours searching through the shelves, looking for a perfect book to take home as a souvenir.

Literature-Themed Trips

Planning trips inspired by your favorite books and authors is also an option. You can visit their homes, places that served as inspiration for their books, and filming locations featured in TV and movie adaptations of your favorite novels.
