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?”

    According to goodreads, I’ve been reading A Promised Land by one of my favorite humans, Mr. Barack Obama since January 2021 😬 I started reading it shortly after getting it and am I think about halfway through and haven’t touched it since probably that February.

    But you’ve inspired me to finish it before the year ends!
