I feel guilty i have read such few nonfiction books in my life... There is one about chili peppers that I read through pretty thoroughly maybe 10ish years ago. It’s big because it had full-page botanical illustrations of the different species. I love chiles so much and I love learning about things I love… I gotta look for it on my bookshelf again

Unfortunately from the roundabout 3 non fiction books I have in my shelf, I have not read a single one yet. My “to be read“ list is getting way too long because I keep buying new books I’m insanely interested in, but lack the time to actually read any of them.

… and actually enjoying it. In the past year i’ve finally nailed down my taste/hit a groove with pleasure reading and now I can’t stop. I do a lot of reading recs in a way that I almost feel self-conscious about but I can’t contain it - truly bringing me crazy amounts of peace in my life right now. When I was 19-22ish, I spent a lot of time reading what I thought I *should* be reading and ending up spending 3 months trudging through a book just to say I did. I blame Red Scare Podcast. Why was I 19 thinking i needed to read Houellebeq and Lasch? Now I fly through pages and (mostly) love it all. or feel like I got something from it at least. Right now I‘m reading Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver and loving it, can spend hours at a time with it. My favorite book is probably If on a winters night a traveler by Italo Calvino. Happy to get more recs always.

I recommend the Japanese garden. It’s very green and beautiful and they also have art exhibits.. I got to see a Japanese theater mask exhibit

Rubbish.. something like crumpled up receipts with coffee stains next to a half eaten sandwich and an empty pack of cigarettes.. so many interesting textures and shadows perhaps
