I’ve never been a reader but slowly I've taken more interest in it. And for real knowledge is power. It is so fun and you get to get lost in another world or concept. Currently really into Steinbeck that bitch is so iconic

… 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.

In an effort to decentralize social media in my life, I started reading again… and I didn’t realize what a joy it could be! I couldn’t tell you the last time I read a book of my own accord, but I started with The Bell Jar, and now I’m on Just Kids. They are perfect ways to ease myself into more patience, quietness, and satisfaction. :)

We’re never too old, too late, too inexperienced or incapable. Nothing is embarrassing or weird. I didnt realize how much of everything I counted myself out of because of some anxiety or preconceived notion. It’s all made up, do everything and try it all. Nothing is beneath us and we are not beneath or above anything.

Really has romanticized life or at least added more value to small moments. I’m tryna “perfect days” in this bitch. Also recommend the movie perfect days it has not left my mind since I watched it a month ago.

All that you touch, you change.
All that you change, changes you.
the only lasting truth, is change.
God is change.
the book has such an interesting philosophy that it explores through a sci-fi world thats also feels so close to a possible reality. it’s an interesting read makes you think and sit on a lot of excerpts.
