i think I've been reading this book for like two years now. i also think i have more highlights in this book than all the highlights in all my books. its just that kind of story. its very quotable.

This book has been with me for many months now. I pick it up when I want to feel at peace. I typically read only small parts and then fall asleep. It is contemplative yet unassuming. I find I am worried it will end one day.

However, the times we are in today, with a world cursed and shutdown by a tiny virus, I'm finding this book to be so comforting and relevant. I recommend taking a break from all this and read.

I'm finding this book to be a great wind down before sleep.
