Becoming

Oli
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.

The Story of My Life

Oli
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.

As with most poetry, I have to read this again and again to get insights that I didn't the first time.

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.

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.

Does it count if you're listening to the Audiobook? I don't know.. but I do recommend Paul Giamatti's reading of Dick's tale. It's eerily good.
