  • Finding a good method to get recommendations for books that I enjoy reading has changed my life.

    I’m not going to begrudge anyone for reading books, regardless of how shitty I might think they are. Scrolling tiktok and then finding books and then going and reading them?? Sure beats just continually scrolling tiktok, or Twitter, or YouTube, or any of the countless other worse ways to spend your time.



  • I think books definitely come to me at the right time. There will be times I get the notion that now is not right for this book or other times where a book I’ve heard of many times and am familiar with presents itself.

    A couple cases from this year: Larry McMurty’s Lonesome Dove and Viktor Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning. I could have read either book at any point over the last couple decades, but I didn’t. If I had, they wouldn’t have impacted me the way they did when I read them this year.
