If you can answer this question, this is the book for you :)
Question: Shakespeare, Socrates, Shelley- what do they have in common? (besides the first letter of their name)
Answer: They are the greats. Renowned in the different fields of poetry, philosophy, and literature; their words and works have stood the test of time.
Shakespeare said in Hamlet that "There's hope a great man's memory may outlive his life half a year."
Let's surpass Shakespeare's expectation and let the great men of the past outlive their lives for centuries more.

The Isle of the Fell
Why then, O brawling love! O loving hate! O any thing, of nothing first create! O heavy lightness, serious vanity, Misshapen chaos of well-seeming forms, Feather of lead, bright smoke, cold fire, sick health, Still-waking sleep, that is not what it is! This love feel I, that feel no love in this. -William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet In the 23rd century, after a great nuclear war instigated by Tharizdun, the embodiment of natural order, Man, the defier of natural order and the Melkor of history, tries to recreate a One-State society led by the resurrected Julius Caesar. But all the same ... as the European populance reacts to the Roman destruction of democracy and divided cultures, they become desperate, and try to free themselves of Man's natural faults which the Roman society is based on ... by following the demonic legions of Tharizdun, but perhaps, just perhaps, one's demon is an angel in another man's nation. If only it weren't for politics coming out of the barrel of a gun.Complete

Shakespeare's 154 Sonnets (Completed )
Shakespeare's Sonnets is the title of a collection of 154 sonnets by William Shakespeare, which covers themes such as the passage of time, love, beauty and mortality. The first 126 sonnets are addressed to a young man; the last 28 to a woman. The sonnets are almost all constructed from three quatrains, which are four-line stanzas, and a final couplet composed in iambic pentameter. This is also the meter used extensively in Shakespeare's plays. The rhyme scheme is abab cdcd efef gg. Sonnets using this scheme are known as Shakespearean sonnets. Often, the beginning of the third quatrain marks the volta ("turn"), or the line in which the mood of the poem shifts, and the poet expresses a revelation or epiphany.Complete

This book is for you, who wants to read about what life can be like, most of the times. This book has reminders, poetry, tips and tricks, quotes, texts about meaning with life, happy moment and even sad moments. A little bit of everything life can throw at you. I have no filter to this book. Which means it's raw and genuine, and that is the goal.

Or if you feel like you want to know what happiness is or feels like, I have different definition of that in different chapters for you my dear! (And many more chapters, about everything you could think of) And maybe you know all of this already, and it glads me to hear. But give it a chance and maybe you'll find new ways to Incorporate it in your daily life. Or let it just be reminders for yourself. What ever works for you, love! - A.M🍷Complete
