Enjoying it so far. Very accessible as a story.

quote from "Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead: A Novel" by Olga Tokarczuk, Antonia Lloyd-Jones -

"... Is it true that we live on the surface of a sphere, exposed to the gaze of the planets, left in a great void, where after the Fall the light was smashed to smithereens and blown apart? It is true. We should remember that every day, for we do tend to forget."

So far I am in love with this. It's a neurologist's memoir, a story of her studies and her experiences navigating the understanding of the human condition and the human biology through the stories of herself and her patients. Despite not being finished, I highly recommend it so far.

This is terrifying. It's a little too relatable. This might be the most terrifying book I've ever read. I have to put it down to calm my anxiety every few minutes, but I gotta say it is very poignant and well written .

Maybe don't read while dealing with existentialism.

Whoa. I need a book club to talk this book through with me. I am in awe with the poetry and subject matter. Thank you to the owner of my local bookstore for this recommendation #Interabang #Dallas but this is something heavy and I need to chat.

I had no idea what this book was going to be about but it's kept me riveted. It's so thoughtful and beautiful. No idea where it's taking me, but I'm enjoying the ride
