Booktok Literary Fiction の小説・ストーリー

Bless the oblivious and underpaid. She didn’t bother with the café. Too exposed. She slid instead toward the back—past biographies, past religion like a polite nod to an old neighbor, into the cool belly of fiction. The store had been designed by someone who loved introverts: a few deep armchairs tucked in half-shadow at the end of a long aisle, lamps that glowed like patient moons. She claimed the chair at the far corner, where the shelves made a narrow canyon and you could see trouble coming long enough to close the book and pretend you’d been reading a different life all along.

Sprinted to the door, I pulled it open, not expecting it to open, but it did, causing my heart to swell in joy. Ambling to the shelf, my eyes darted round the various book covers. Fiction was my favorite book to read because the best thing about reading was to be able to escape from your life, to be able to read hundreds or even thousands of other lives. Non-fiction does not have that power, it does not change you the way fiction does. To me, if you are not affected somehow, even if it is the slightest change, you are not reading the right book. I would love to think that every novel I have read has become a part of me and created who I am in a sense.

It’s really easy to imagine those girls or I should say coquettes blushing and whispering among themselves, weaving little fantasies of stolen glances, forbidden notes, and heart-racing moments in the quiet corners of the class. After all, who wouldn’t lose themselves in daydreams when faced with a man who seems to embody every romantic cliché in the most dangerously real way? Stop it, Alina. “You’re staring,” he says without looking up. “I’m not staring.” I looked hard at the table to prove my point. My gaze settles on a hefty hardcover book titled The Foundations of Literary Analysis. I groan aloud. “Oh, great. A book so heavy it could act as a weapon. Is this what you summoned me here for

At that time, a tall, brown-skinned, curly hair man who was aged about 40 was trying to show him the best book he had got on his display stand. Lin looked at the book and scanned it with much attention. He did not seem to notice other passers-by who cast a glance at him. Among the books, he saw a wide range of good English novels of George Orwell, Amy Tan, Amitav Gosh, Wendy Law-Yone, and many others. At a time, Lin found a book he was looking for. It was a book titled "Saving Fish From Drowning" written by Amy Tan. Then, a bargain between them settled, and Lin happily left behind the smiling bookseller, who held some notes in his hand.

Though I'm confuse, I casually said, “This wondrous of a place usually empty. People forgot to pay a visit or to even got themselves immerse to the world that this wondrous of a place offer them with sincerity. I thought you are highly affected by such a failure of showing gratitude to literature coming from them?” His eyes couldn't actually intimidating but there's a melancholy that I didn't expected to seen. My statement just now goes awakwardly, and I chuckled as that to forgot my place on this unknown and strange of a place. I cough and turn my head to the shelf that offer a variety of book that looks bloody yet comforting. “Oh,” I gasped, not able to hide my awed. “That's a classic...”

I dump my bag on the floor and read through the shelf while pulling books out and mumble as I go. ‘Even a book can be dangerous in the wrong hands.’ ‘Ignite.’ ‘Hell is empty and all the devils are here.’ ‘You’ll make bad choices. Sometimes you’ll choose the best of bad ones.’ ‘Tuesday is Fucked.’ ‘Everything’s a game. And now it’s your turn.’ I have a stack of about 10 books before I abruptly stop. "Next isle." I say and we walk up and down the library isles. I climb and jump to get books off of shelves and Aidan has to catch me a couple of times when I fell.

Chapter 1: Caught in the Act I straddled on Professor Blake’s lap in his office, my short plaid skirt shoved up around my waist, my soaked black panties hanging off one ankle like a dirty little trophy. His thick cock was buried deep inside my dripping pussy, stretching me open as I rocked my hips in slow, lazy circles, taking every inch of him with each roll. I’d never been one for hitting the books hard. Studying felt like torture, so I’d found a much more appealing way to keep my grades up, and it was simple, riding my professor raw for hours. And it happened to work every single time.

“Psychological studies mostly.” His smile fades slightly. “Fiction?” “Oh. Right.” I clear my throat. “Yes. Fiction too.” “Favourite novel?” Why was this suddenly feeling like an oral exam? I panic and blurt out the first thing that comes to mind. “Gone Girl.” The interviewer goes silent and just stares at me. Then he finally says. “Interesting choice for a library focused on family and community engagement.” Right. What I mentioned was an erotic murder thriller. Terrible choice for the family and community.

She did the same for him. One evening, as they walked through the city, Grace noticed a small bookstore she had never seen before. They went in on impulse. The space was narrow, warm, filled with the smell of paper and dust. Grace wandered the aisles slowly. She picked up a novel, then another. She realized she had not read fiction in months. Everything she consumed had been functional. Informational. Necessary. She chose a book without overthinking it. At home later, she read until midnight. The story was ordinary, human, unresolved. She loved it. When she closed the book, she felt something shift. She was no longer only responding to the world. She was engaging with it for pleasure again.

Her favorite by the writer. He was young, definitely younger than her, dressed in jeans with holes and a white linen shirt tucked in the front with a brown leather jacket over it. His hair was dark brown, almost black and hung in loose ringlets to his shoulders. He was wearing what looked like very expensive boots. He may have been the most beautiful man she had ever seen, in person. He glanced her way and his eyes met hers. They were so blue she was sure they were contacts. She was flushed, she could feel it. She looked down and started toward the other side of the shelf, trying to seem unaffected. She peeked through the books and noticed he was coming closer, still thumbing through the boo
