    i recently finished Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami. it’s a pretty interesting and honestly, kind of trippy, coming of age story. pretty wild ride, and a bit vivid; would definitely recommend!

    The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind by Gustave LeBon has been interesting but it requires a level of cynicism that I think most people would reject reflexively. The author's ability to explain what a societal identity is, how it forms and how it breaks down is pretty intriguing even if you don't agree with all of the conclusions he reaches. I would recommend it solely to follow along with some of the patterns he recognizes and decide for yourself if human civilization is truly so predictable and inherently tied to instincts that seldom if ever place any value in truth or reason.

    I just finished reading Pachinko which I enjoyed even though it was more depressing than I expected. Definitely an interesting story though and I want to watch the show that was recently released. I just started Where the Crawdads Sing because I like the actress who is playing the main character in the movie that's being released over the summer. Unfortunately, not loving the book so far. I just really don't like split-time perspectives in books.

    Currently reading Liz Carver and Josh Green's "What's Your Enneatype: An Essential Guide to the Enneagram." I found out about the book through their Instagram page.

    I also recently skimmed through Michelle Rial's "Am I Overthinking This: Over-Answering Life's Questions in 101 Charts" which I think quite a few people here would enjoy.

    Atomic Habits by James Clear.
    Highly recommend if anyone is into self-help books and actively working on growth/self-improvement.

    Currently halfway of The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood.
    I did watch the first season already, but it's cool to be reading the source material!

    I finished reading "Where the Crawdads Sing" a few days ago... maybe a week ago? It took me forever (by my standards) to get through but ended up thinking it was fine. Definitely not my fav. Since then, I read A History of Wild Places by Shea Ernshaw. I thought the writing wasn't super strong, but it grew on me and the story was interesting enough! I then just started and finished Book Lovers by Emily Henry today. Super easy read, knew I would enjoy it since I enjoyed her other two books. It almost beat out Beach Read, but not quite!! Still, I liked it a lot and liked it so much better than People We Meet on Vacation. I think I'm going to start The Hacienda by Isabel Canas tonight or tomorrow. It was my book of the month (the subscription service) pick, so I thought I'd check it out!

    I finished Severance a couple weeks ago. I really enjoyed it and was definitely interesting but eerie to see some of the parallels to the behavior/reactions people had during the pandemic.

    I haven't decided what to read next yet. I'm a little burnt out so I think I need either something kind of light or an essay/short story collection so things are bite-sized. Time to peruse the many unread books on my shelves to see what fits the bill.

    (lmao at me grabbing Godel, Escher, and Bach out of one of my boxes of things in my parents' basement thinking that was definitely gonna be my next read)

    The Marlow Murder Club by Robert Thorogood. It's supposed to be like a modern Agatha Christie with a 70 y/o lady as the protagonist. So far it's been fun to read!
