I'm on pace to hit my goal of 64 books read this year, which is very exciting for me, especially after I went through that period of not reading for much of 2021-2022 and even started to think maybe I was done with reading, and now I'm reading more than ever before!

Anyways, I've really, really enjoyed the books I read this year. They challenged me immensely so I had to reread many of them multiple times. Anyways, I appreciate what these books have brought into my life and honestly it's very hard to imagine a livable life without them. Thank you books but mostly thank you to the authors, most of them dead.

"Rein in place, then, with the halter of expression! Carry it, just as you carry your name, not your shadow, in your imagination, not in a suitcase! In this sunset words alone are qualified to restore what was broken in time and place and to name gods that paid no attention to you and waged their wars with primitive weapons. Words are the raw materials for building a house. Words are a homeland!"

Yeah

reading this for the third time this year
