an incredible book to read in autumn. I’ve read a lot of reviews about this book that argue that it’s about duty or work - but in my opinion this book is entirely about passivity. it‘s heartbreaking and written so tenderly that you breeze through it in hours.

I think this one stuck with me so much because it was so short and I had just read a succession of long-ass books (Plus Johnson is an Iowa Writers workshop alum).
Johnson tells a panoramic story with a wide enough lens to capture both the valleys and mountains of the North Western corner of the US, as well as the better portion of the book’s protagonist’s life.
Simultaneously, this books captures the tiny moments effortlessly and there’s plenty to be pulled out of the details.
all that comes together to paint what i can only imagine to be an accurate depiction of the life of a man in the 20th century. Could any other time in history be so big and yet so small at the same time?

I used to spend like 5+ hours a day on twitter and what I found helped me get it down was deleting it off my phone and only looking at it on my computer. Helped me cut down on time without cutting of completely cause there is still stuff I like about the app.
