NYC, drama, hope and wistfulness in one majestically written Magnus opum. Whole life story of four friends and their entanglements. First book that actually shook me to tears and laughter. Cannnot recommend enough.
Those characters stayed with me for a very long time.

This is the most devastating book I've ever read. It is one of my favorites. It will make you appreciate the good times even more.

āThe People in the Treesā is incredible. If you like a good mystery and/or have even a passing interest in the field of anthropology, I highly recommend. Yanagihara invokes a creeping sense of dread from the outset, with its momentum only building and building. Incredible debut that was eclipsed (hehe) by the self-indulgent extended character study that is āA Little Lifeā

Yep, my great-grandfather was one of the most famous scientists/ constructors in Mongolia, famously dubbed āking of the iceā for his contributions to provide improved food storage possibilities to the country, travelling every corner of it.
He grew up in a poor nomadic village before going to the capital and starting to study there somehow, a very impressive feat given that Mongolia in those days was so extremely poor and terrorized by Russia that that was usually a privilege reserved to the wealthy.
He earned a great fortune that all of his children managed to squander within a few years, but his anniversary is still being celebrated every year publicly to this day.
There are even biographies written about him, in the more recent ones a family photo where he holds me as a tiny baby in his arms.

You can literally make a woman cum by stimulating her boobs/ nipples only and the fact that most of yāall havenāt ever gotten that far (talking about men mostly) should make you seriously reconsider your choices in life.

My very first memory is a super duper random moment, stumbling over a rope bridge at a playground with my dad in my birth town, only memory there when I must have been around 2 years old.
Remember feeling somewhat confused, but beyond this momentary image no other associations with it.
I always wondered why this random ass moment was chosen to be so engrained in my brain and if it was maybe a precursor or aftermath to something else that was impactful enough to have made me register that- well if there was it did a good job hiding.
In the end the symbol of both being on wonky, maybe unusual/unsteady pathways and the confusion associated with it came to be very familiar feeling for me early on in life, which I guess didnāt make it such a random memory after all.
