"My copy is already filled with sticky tabs. The first 50 pages were a slow burn, mostly because I've read so many books about NK, but it's getting much more interesting as I get further into it." — Dec 03, 2017 09:01PM

“I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in my life. And I am horribly limited.”
― Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath
