Found an old receipt in a book and read a sentence at the bottom. Thought: Huh, what's the origin of that? Reached for the one device left where I hadn't changed the default search. Know what I'd like to do next? Among other things, go to the data center and get that water back personally.
AI Overview

This philosophical sentiment captures the human tension between accepting life's certainties and defying the odds. It is a realization often embraced by book lovers browsing The Book Barn in Niantic, CT, where those exact words used to adorn every receipt.

Would you like to explore more philosophical quotes or would you prefer to plan a road trip to a unique bookstore like the one in Niantic?

Mood: This picture of 27 year old Bjorn Ulvaeus (later of ABBA, the musical Chess, etc) with his parents in their living room in 1972
A middle aged man in a shirt, tíe, and gray plaid pants with his arm around a middle aged woman in a sweater, pleated skirt and hardcore tan pantyhose. They are next to a chair in which their son is seated, all in a small living room I can only describe as quintessential 70s. The button bell bottom jeans on the son are pretty great: subtle, yet not.

I was all prepared to drink haterade but aw yes number 70, for real. (And the summary they give here is like saying “it’s about a guy with a lot of shirts and a pool” about Gatsby.)
Jude the Obscure by Thomas Hardy. 1895. Dubbed Jude the Obscene on publication, Hardy’s final novel follows working-class stonemason Jude Fawley, who longs for an education. Hardy’s most overtly political novel, it explores controversial themes of class, religion, bigamy and a critique of marriage. The critical response was so harsh, Hardy never wrote another novel, and turned instead to poetry, but it has since been celebrated as a powerful and radical critique of Victorian society.
