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?”
Quackery: A Brief History of the Worst Ways to Cure Everything by Nate Pederson and Lydia Kang I think it’s been there for 3 months but it’s a nonfiction almost textbook style book so I read normally a chapter every few weeks when the mood strikes me it’s a great book just basically a history/science text book with a little bit of funn commentary added into it
