This feels like going on a date with Sam and realizing you have met a really genuine human being. I am listening on audiobook and it’s also the perfect “Droughtlander” cure

Liz V is on page 150 of Melmoth
Both enthralling & terrifying at once! Can be at times hard to read emotionally, but such a well written look inside the immorality of war from both sides. Just stunning.

Liz V is on page 125 of 304 of Ageless Soul: The Lifelong Journey Toward Meaning and Joy
Great consideration of soul value as usual from Thomas Moore. In depth psychological considerations & good advice on this count, and runs a range of possibilities in terms of faith and lifestyle, which might be attractive to some, off-putting to others. I think only a few moments will cause the reader to feel challenged

Liz V is reading Braving the Wilderness
The anecdotal elements, and some profound statements throughout the book, alongside the superstructure with vision are the best parts of this book. Occasionally the writing repeats or veers from goal
