Mine’s The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath. Thick books never stopped me from reading nonstop before, but there are entries in the book that just has me stopping and taking time to mull things over.

Also, sharing this excerpt: “Not to be sentimental, as I sound, but why the hell are we conditioned into the smooth strawberry-and-cream Mother-Goose-world, Alice-in-Wonderland fable, only to be broken on the wheel as we grow older and become aware of ourselves as individuals with a dull responsibility in life?”

    I’m thrilled to say that I don’t currently have anything that I started more than a few weeks ago.

    Last year it took me almost the full year to get through Atlas of the Heart by Brene Brown. I would only read a small section and take time to reflect on it before I would read the next section.
