This is such an important book.... Hard to hear for sure, since it's about the many problems with US healthcare... Someday I'll get through it all.

Krystal is 60% done with All Who Go Do Not Return

"The evasiveness that characterized so many of the responses, from this rabbi and others, suggested that the answers were a tangled spaghetti of sophistry meant to obfuscate rather than illuminate. And always, there were instructions to look further, elsewhere. I hadn't read the right books. I hadn't spoken to the right people."

Krystal is 50% done with The Art of Asking; or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Let People Help

Quite a contrast to read this a month or two after the Brownstein Sleater-Kinney memoir. That felt a lot more real, have to say. Halfway through, running out of novelty and not sure if I'll get through it all.
