by eskor david johnson is the best novel? it’s 500 pages of a guy essentially apartment hunting in a fictional island city, but it’s so much more than that (biblical flood, crazy lamp hoarding roommate, the best character names in history)

if you haven’t read it yet… do. I linked the pdf it’s only 164 pages and it is so so complex and sweet and fucking horribly sad, so amazing how it’s all packed in there.

because he’s the king of the hill. obviously. and will make you feel everything. Other recs: The World Accoridng to Garp by John Irving is one of the most fucked up and disturbing books I’ve ever read. feel like I almost can’t in good conscience recommend it. But you will feel ill! The bluest eye. Also super fucked up and sad. OH! Boy snow bird by Helen oheyemi. Unbelievably good, language is stunning, trippy but heartbreaking. ok that’s the list.

Videos. Journals. Planners. Calendars. Playlists. Spreadsheets. Letters to open in the future. Keeping track of the present (in a way that is low stakes and fun) keeps me from dwelling on the past or feeling upset about changing. It will be there for me if and when I want to return to it! And I get to dip into the things I have thought and felt and loved in the past and maybe they become part of my life again or they don't! I also love to experiment with form in the ways that I record myself. Journals are a classic, but doing something like journaling in a planner with limited space or on a calendar means you have to pick just one memory from each day. Or making playlists / watchlists / reading lists of what's important to you at a time. Embarking upon fun little challenges of discovery (places, songs, books, movies, foods) and keeping track of what you learn in an organized (or disorganized) way! Video journals or little vlogs just for yourself! Scrapbooking! Fun in the moment to create and fun in the future to rediscover.

it’s a shit game so if you’re gonna play it at least go for a little “nice to come home” when you land on one of your own properties
