The Outrun
Amy Liptrot LovedA memoir about returning to Orkney to get sober. Wind, sea, birds, and a quiet, hard-earned peace. I underlined too much of it.
★★★★★Bluets
Maggie Nelson Loved240 fragments about the color blue and one heartbreak. Brutal, precise, and short enough to read in a single bath.
★★★★★A Field Guide to Getting Lost
Rebecca SolnitRe-read. Better the second time, when I stopped trying to extract a thesis and let it wander.
★★★★★Four Thousand Weeks
Oliver BurkemanA productivity book that argues against productivity. The chapter on settling, on choosing finitude, has stayed with me.
