I finished it in my early 20s one summer when I had nearly infinite time and nothing else going on. Kind of the perfect time for it. Not sure I’d have the patience for it now.

The Air Loom Gang by Mike Jay is a wild story about political intrigue, madness, and the beginnings of our modern understanding of mental illness. Solid nonfiction

Riddle of the Labyrinth by Margalit Fox is the fascinating story of how Linear B was deciphered. Worth a read!

I just finished Arkady Martine’s novella Rose/House. Not as good as her other books but I’m really appreciating the shorter length lately.

One might say this about parenting too. Which is the biggest drag about it.

An American Childhood by Annie Dillard. She captures the transition from childhood to adulthood in a way I’ve never seen anywhere else

Although it’s only 98 pages, it took me a week to read Ray Nayler’s Tusks of Extinction because of how heartbreaking it is.

I found a Barbara Kingsolver novel called Lacuna on my walk around the neighborhood today. Great writer! Free little libraries are great for serendipity!
