My friend/sister Rapha inherited some of my precious books when I moved to Portugal, and reminded me last week of my scribbles as she picked up Alexandra Coelho to read. It's nice for friends because they get a glimpse of what moved you, a little snippet of your soul. It's nice for yourself as book owner because using a pen or highlighter is psychopath behaviour

Love Underlining, leaving note, etc. But what I love even more is reading a book where somebody has already left their traces

I like the majority of the book, sue me.
But really, it's a nice way to create your own slightly abridged version of the book for when you reread or reference it later on.
It's also a nice way for your future self to gain a glimpse of what your past self liked or found moving/important. Sort of like a personal diary mediated and reflected through someone else's words/thoughts.

Obviously everyone's attention span is shortening. the best I can do is read while having lunch out (once or twice a week). so short stories are the best format for this because they're the right length of a meal! I recommend anything by Joan Didion

I'm not a big fan of snacks -- I prefer actual meals where I end up overeating because I spent too much time between meals, not healthy I know, sue me π₯΄ but once in a while the clouds part and I'll find luxurious truffle chips in the supermarket (usually fancier one) and I'll shamelessly indulge

great to pass the time if you're fidgetty and find it hard to just sit and watch something. Last night I chopped all the way through the new Mobland episode. 8 garlic heads!! I'd also chop them but then I remembered I have a mixer
