es cheaper, duh. but sometimes A LOT cheaper than obtaining a brand new copy.
rec-ception: taking book recommendations from people you admire seriously (I just ordered Sexual Personae by Camille Pagile and am dying to read it and possibly share my own thoughts).

so nice finishing something or having a friend finish something and then swapping that book. sharing things with your loved ones? making memories tactile? it's nice! (some that I've given or received that I've loved as of late: why fish don't exist - lulu miller, clarice lispector - an apprenticeship, how to do nothing - jenny odell, stay true - hua hsu)

If you start reading again, you'll feel better. If you read in an omnivorous and far flung manner your days will get better. You will have more to say and more to think about. You can become an evangelical for reading from a place of pure desire and care. Unusual books contain unusual knowledge.
I will post books as an act of human class solidarity. Most posts will include a link to a digital copy, but you will love going to the library. We are lucky to get to hold books in our hands.

currently in three book clubs and loving every minute. been using reading as my replacement for cutting out most social media and haven’t regretted it.
just read The Hearing Trumpet with PI.BKCLB (about to start our February special event read, join us!) and thought it was rebelliously joyful.
read Self Reliance in another book club and thought Emerson was pretty insightful and provided some great perpective into how one should live according to their core values, especially in times fraught with voices calling for change like our own. about to start Civil Disobedience next.
read Transcendence by Scott Barry Kauffman in another and I feel like I understand Maslow in a whole new way now. we’re now beginning Care of the Soul by Thomas Moore and i’m excited to dive into more thought that integrates the psychological/scientific with the spiritual.
nibbling on a few other books on the side but I picked up a book called Wasting Time and Resources in Mississippi from an indie author at a truck stop who was doing a signing and it’s so bizarre but also really earnest and endearing. it gives hallmark movie vibes. the picture below is a snippet from that book.

even if its delusional, I really do love the idea of trusting that all of the perceived hardships, anxieties, and lessons ultimately lead to a path that's catered to our individual needs for growth and learning.
maybe I am detaching from reality in an effort to cope, but I truly am starting to believe that miracles (big and small) happen daily and that we will all be ok in the end.
attention and intention are everything.

rushing for who and what? stressing over what arbitrary deadlines?
if it’s not an actual emergency, then it’s not an emergency.
