What I read this week. The Didion memoir was a re-read. I was looking up a passage from the beginning and ended up re-reading the whole book for the third time. #GretchenRubinReads

The books of my life. I’ve been wanting to assemble them for a long time. The stack is not complete, but each one of these books is written into my mind and heart and soul. Each one is a little part of who I am. Thank you, authors. – source2021-12-23T17:40:09.000Z
