Let’s read a gazillion interesting nonfiction books at an absolute snail’s pace!

It hits different at 40 than at 25, I’ll tell you that much

“The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater.”

“The road must be trod, but it will be very hard. And neither strength nor wisdom will carry us far upon it. This quest may be attempted by the weak with as much hope as the strong. Yet such is oft the course of deeds that move the wheels of the world: small hands do them because they must, while the eyes of the great are elsewhere.”

Oh this is great. I’m so thrilled with the many ways this is nothing like the Dostoevsky of the same name. Also linguistics! 🤩

ugh it’s so good!

Not a bad story but I’m distracted wondering what the author and his editor have against commas. It must be a stylistic choice but it is one I can’t get behind 😆
