hahahah that means so much. my dream has been to connect with people over things we read together so thanks for joining the movement 🤎 hope to stay in touch xoxo
that essay by baldwin is amazing — he hated shakespeare and then didn’t anymore. and if you’re reading shakespeare, you have to talk to me about your experience! i spent years studying them deeply.
I love the idea of curating summaries of the best reading, it's like a modern reader's digest. I find the vast majority of content to be filled with fluff, this is a great answer to that. I also love that you included a playlist, I include music with my content as well :)
The thing that stuck out to me the most from your piece is that media is moving away from storytelling. I consider storytelling to be one of my core values. It is something that has shaped cultures and led many to grow in empathy and to led many into spiritual experiences.
The pen in mightier than the sword... In a time where literacy alongside reading itself is lowering, we see many choosing to put down the pen. What an interesting plot turn, and what a loss of wealth. I suspect that in such absence others will pick up the pen and I am excited and curious to see who those people will be....
thank you for such a beautiful note. completely agree — the loss of stories is truly a loss of wealth. really wonderfully said.
there is indeed a lot of fluff out there, which is exactly why i do this every week. thank you again and hope the titles keep resonating. let’s stay in touch.
How am I just finding this? Can't wait to stay up-to-date with all these future posts!!!

Definitely! I’ll be back!
look forward to your breakdowns every week, it's like my newspaper <3
you’re the best 🤎 thank you! hope the pieces resonate, my dear.
Can't wait to read the essay on Shakespeare. I'm dedicating this winter to reading THE tragedies, and so far, it is absolutely satisfying.
Thanks for another great list!
