I read a lot for school. To ease the pain that causes, Iāve decided to read even more. But stuff I choose. For the love of god I just need to lessen the percent of my time occupied by utter academic gibberish.
Hereās what I purchased on Saturday. Iām reading Dubliners first and saving Dostoyevsky for when the weatherās less depressing.
Iāve read the Wittgenstein book and Waiting for Godot but just need to own my own copies at this point.

I didnāt think I would be tempted by the god forsaken Shakespeare and Co.
I always go to bookstores (libraries as the French say) and buy books I never read, but today was just too good to pass up. Hoping I actually finish the book I got (Giovanniās Room) because itās gotten so much praise, I love Baldwin, and itās so short. It would be a shame if I didnāt finish it actually.
So yes, my recommendation is to go outside and read a new book. My goal is to ready 10 more leisure books before I turn 21. Idk if thatāll happen though.

ā¦ and actually enjoying it. In the past year iāve finally nailed down my taste/hit a groove with pleasure reading and now I canāt stop. I do a lot of reading recs in a way that I almost feel self-conscious about but I canāt 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 Iām 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.

Chillin in bed get on my level. Reading books and shit all comfy with my Nike tech on under the duvet. I am unbothered. I am in my court atop my throne, the cozy-pilled sovereign of a full-sized mattress.
