Oli is on page 8 of 240 of The Story of My Life

I've not been great at long self help books. Biographies do more to inspire me.

Helen Keller's world is interesting, especially imagining her childhood when she is plugged into darkness and silence.

Oli is 54% done with Wizard and Glass (The Dark Tower, #4)

I've been reading this for 9+ months. It's slow going. I may appreciate this insight into the series a few books further on, for now this can feel like a bit of a slog.

My Life Had Stood a Loaded Gun (Penguin Little Black Classics, #114)

Oli is on page 26 of 432 of Bohemians, Bootleggers, Flappers, and Swells: The Best of Early Vanity Fair

I love how relevant these articles are.

It's fun to read articles from 1915 and think, wow this could be written today.

Also I like learning more about the history of a publication which I get to work on everyday.

Oli is on page 41 of 240 of My Art, My Life

It's interesting to see Rivera's stories as he looks back on his life. Some of them are crazy and are a great way to see how his art and life are together both bold and larger than life.
