An effective way to read more because you can choose what you’re in the mood for. My current mix: environmental essays, whimsical alien fiction, interior design

currently in three book clubs and loving every minute. been using reading as my replacement for cutting out most social media and haven’t regretted it.
just read The Hearing Trumpet with PI.BKCLB (about to start our February special event read, join us!) and thought it was rebelliously joyful.
read Self Reliance in another book club and thought Emerson was pretty insightful and provided some great perpective into how one should live according to their core values, especially in times fraught with voices calling for change like our own. about to start Civil Disobedience next.
read Transcendence by Scott Barry Kauffman in another and I feel like I understand Maslow in a whole new way now. we’re now beginning Care of the Soul by Thomas Moore and i’m excited to dive into more thought that integrates the psychological/scientific with the spiritual.
nibbling on a few other books on the side but I picked up a book called Wasting Time and Resources in Mississippi from an indie author at a truck stop who was doing a signing and it’s so bizarre but also really earnest and endearing. it gives hallmark movie vibes. the picture below is a snippet from that book.

… and actually enjoying it. In the past year i’ve finally nailed down my taste/hit a groove with pleasure reading and now I can’t stop. I do a lot of reading recs in a way that I almost feel self-conscious about but I can’t contain it - truly bringing me crazy amounts of peace in my life right now.
When I was 19-22ish, I spent a lot of time reading what I thought I *should* be reading and ending up spending 3 months trudging through a book just to say I did. I blame Red Scare Podcast. Why was I 19 thinking i needed to read Houellebeq and Lasch?
Now I fly through pages and (mostly) love it all. or feel like I got something from it at least. Right now I‘m reading Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver and loving it, can spend hours at a time with it. My favorite book is probably If on a winters night a traveler by Italo Calvino. Happy to get more recs always.
