My Favorite Reads of 2023

Happy mid-November!

I’m not going to repeat the rhetorical question everyone seems to be asking these days, because it’s impossible to know where most of 2023 went. But here’s some good news: We’ve got a month and a half to finish (or begin) the stuff we planned to do this year.

Jim Morrison
“That's what real love amounts to - letting a person be what he really is. Most people love you for who you pretend to be. To keep their love, you keep pretending - performing. You get to love your pretence. It's true, we're locked in an image, an act - and the sad thing is, people get so used to their image, they grow attached to their masks. They love their chains.

Jim Morrison

Oscar Wilde

Sylvia Plath
“And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.”
Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

“In principle and reality, libraries are life-enhancing palaces of wonder.”
