I love a good book blurb. When I start a well-received book, I read them all. It makes me think, why would I ever think I could review a book, this has captured it so perfectly, and I haven’t even read the book yet. …The book I’m starting: Homer’s “Odyssey” - translation Emily Wilson #BookSky 💙📚

Screenshot of a text exchange.

It reads, “You know those days when you screw something up over and over and over and then your boss is like, “Well the important thing is that you got it right in the end.”

😬

And then he comes back about an hour later and says, “The important thing is that you GET it right in the end.”

Oh geez 🤣”

When I got to art museums, I love catching people reading. Well, a couple days ago I flipped my calendar and caught someone, and now I’m at Northwood University’s volleyball team camp and I caught a couple more. #Booksky 💙📚 #Read

I’ve had this thought often, but lately: Love in the Time of Cholera. I’m also running low on Dostoyevsky and Toni Morrison. I feel like this about living authors as well, if I’m caught up - like George Saunders.

I hate it when you have a book in the queue… but it’s the last book of a favorite author who died two decades ago. …You’ve been saving it… but you really want to read it. Read it, …or no? #Booksky #💙📚

Yeah. I keep thinking that by keeping the streak, I have a *chance* at getting back into it. If I lose the streak, I’m lost.

😂 Yeah: still on. But I’ve been kind of cheating the system. If I’m pressed for time, or if I’ve had a draining day, I skip Spanish, and do a 20 second music lesson.

I was saving this for vacation, but decided to start it tonight. For fans of Shirley Jackson, Stephen King, Joe Hill, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and Curtis Sittenfeld. If you’ve read her before, let me know. But no spoilers. #BookSky 💙📚
The book things we lost in the fire has brambles and orange and white flowers that kind of look like flames. It’s held in someone’s hand on a screened in porch.

The cover features the color orange.

Have you experienced this?
A quote against a gray background reads, “Every once in a while on social media, I see pictures of my friends’ kids and I'm like: holy cow.
It's the semi-identical twin of my friend.”

I think that’s probably more noble. Maybe quietly support, but don’t preach?

I’d love to hear you thoughts on this one. Feel free to share and ask around. If it’s a scale: which side do you fall on and why?

Does AI study philosophy, or does it already “know?” Which is more important, the mind or the body?

I wrote this a couple of years ago, in my review of Meditations - and I came back to it after finishing Epictetus. The early church read and admired Epictetus, by the way. There are even multiple Orthodox saints that bear his name. #BookSky 💙📚 #Philosophy
Quote from my review of Meditations - by Marcus Aurelius.  The quote reads, “But for an internal mindset - a writing that Marcus Aurelius meant for himself, and no one else: I also agree with him. And I think back to my life - and some of the more traumatic things that have happened to me, and I also like to think: I'm only a victim if I allow myself to be a victim. Things happen - and worse things may be on the horizon. But live the life you're given now, and choose to enjoy it. Be kind and generous and slow to anger, and don't hate those who are unkind and ungenerous and quick to anger.”

There is a highlighted part, which is, “I think back to my life.”

I just picked up The Natural Way of Things, on a recommendation from a friend. I’m about halfway through. Pretty dark, so far - but not a bad read.

😂😂😂 Make. It. Happen. 😂 I haven’t read it, either. I read The Dispossessed last year, though… so I may read an N.K. Jemisin (who I haven’t read ANYTHING of) and then come back to Left Hand next year.

Reminds me of when my grandma forgot to add any coffee to her coffee and drank hot water. Eventually she realized it, but she said it did the same thing for her, so she just rolled with plain hot water in the morning.
