    The us cover of a little life is actually a famous photo names "The orgasmic man" it was taken in the 1960's. Basically it's supposed to be a mystery between whether this man is in pain or pleasure. This heavily relates to the books the more u think about it D:

Almost every booktuber possesses an insane amount of hardcovers , limited editions . Most of them don't even BUY paperbacks. It always made me feel kind of bad because most of MY books are paperbacks , i only have 4-5 hardcovers , so it's always refreshing to see more people who have paperbacks ( not saying buying hardcovers is bad though) Thanks for listening to my rant!!

    I'm so sorry if you've felt bad about this. Personally, I resort to what is more convenient and fits the aesthetic of my shelf. I also often buy books second hand. Wob has pretty good offers for hardcover copies. In the case where I dislike the cover in any edition, I go digital so it's out of sight. Do what makes you happy and what makes sense to you. Conforming to ideals that make you feel bad, as a person, shouldn't take too much of your headspace.

    I think both Eleanor Oliphant covers are just so powerful. The US cover reflects the uptightness and naiveté of the main character while the UK cover is a great play on the plot... and both are instantly recognizable.

    I think both UK and US covers for A Little life are beautiful in their own regard. I personally own both the copies because I first bought the UK version as I didn't want my family to think I'm reading something sketchy and i loved the spine but after finishing the US made so much sense especially after learning about the picture on the cover.

    I do prefer the US cover of a little life but I've thought a lot about the UK edition and it's definitely grown on me for a bunch of reasons slight spoilers for a little life below! . . . . . . . . . . . . . I really like how it's kind of like this "keyhole" effect where only part of the building peeks through the white, almost as if it's hiding the life behind it and only showing what it wants others to see (just like jude doesn't tell people about his past). And when you open the book on the insides of the coverpages it shows the whole building, so you need to open the book to see more of it/learn more about the building (and jude). And also, I like to imagine it's Judes apartment or the Lispenard Street apartment and so the fact that you don't see inside (only the outside of the building) shows how it's a safe space where he is hidden from the prying eyes of anyone who looks at the book. I do appreciate the US cover a lot - it represents the themes of the book better in my opinion (how you can't tell whether the man is in pain or pleasure) - but thinking about the UK cover like this felt really cathartic. Also, just generally I am not a fan of real people's faces on covers and I don't particularly love how the picture captures a specific moment in his life (at least we can approximate what age the man on the cover is), when the book spans so much more time. Also the man looks white to me, whereas I always thought Jude was hinted at being somewhat ethnically ambiguous, so I like that the UK cover doesn't specify - we're left in the dark about Jude's looks, just like he is left in the dark about his (ethnic/bio family) background.

    I find it interesting the way you grew into the UK edition. In my country, the book was predominantly available as the US version during its initial release. Now, years later, you will usually see the UK version. It leads to the assumption that at this point, so many people have heard or read sections of the book already, so this new edition will be enticing to those who know, what to look for.

    You know what's weird? I thought I would know which cover I'd like more when we compare it because it kind of becomes obvious doesn't it? But instead my mind would immediately lean towards the cover I've seen around more before giving the other one a try. I literally had to pause and think to decide because my instincts were throwing me off into simply liking the one I've seen more of and have associated with the book more either by owning/reading that cover version or having or seeing more people post about it on booksta.

    I'm so up for banishing movie tie in covers from book covers hahaha. It always makes me cringe, especially when Netflix decides to slap their dang logo on the book cover. I'm always explaining to the label that it's a book not a movie, so it can remove itself from the book as the book is always better. There is also another cover for The Night Circus, which I have. It actually combines the two covers from the UK and US versions. The cover is the UK version mainly, but the people are further apart and in the middle of them is a circular cut out to the first page of the book which has the US cover picture on it. So when you have the book closed the face of the "doll" peers through the hole in the front cover between the man and woman.
