I’m on quite the Andrew Peterson kick!

Progress will slow down because of school… born to read good books, forced to read bell hooks.

This one took me a bit longer to get into, but now that I’ve found my stride, it’s just as warm, comforting, and inviting as Adorning the Dark. I’ll never look at trees the same!

Delightful. Such a great way to wind down before I go to sleep!

Dripping with symbolism. I would love to teach this someday!

An absolute masterpiece so far.

I have no idea what is going on

I cannot wait to have my heart stomped on by one of the greatest living writers!

Still chipping away at this one on audiobook. Despite the hundreds of thousands of ratings, I'm surprised at how this one is under the radar, at least in circles I'm in. Skloot's comprehensive research on Henrietta and the Lacks family is still important today, and will continue to remain important.

Already falling in love again with the prose!

Considering how short this book is, it has the pace of molasses. Yet, I’m engrossed by every word!

I need to read more Conrad!

Re-reading for Modernist Writers! I’m already so much more in love on a second read, even though it was about 7 months ago that I first read this! Conrad’s prose is simply perfect, and never lacks some illusion to the utter horrors of Congo trade and colonialism. This is one of the few books I’d be really interested in reading some critical theorists takes on this, beyond just post colonialism.

Phenomenal, as always!

Soul nourishing. Very much needed in my current state!

Reading with my girlfriend! Such a pleasant little story

Hoping to finish this on my eleven hour flight. We’ll see how I do!

Also, I don’t think I’ll ever find a book like this one again. This is a treasure to be revisited, to be reminded that such a balance between what is seen as secular and sacred can actually exist!

From meat, to metaphysics, to knives, Capon somehow keeps my attention no matter the subject! He’s the only author I can think of that I’d be truly curious to read his grocery list—his wit and passion for cooking and food would likely shine through even in something so simple!

Enthralling. I’m loving every second of this odd and wonderful cookbook.
