Sometimes I‘m so lonely, and reading helps a bit with that. 💕

AmyG Reading has “saved me”....especially during covid. I can‘t imagine what I would do if not for books. 2y

slategreyskies @AmyG Oh, Amy. I understand. I get it. I admit it does help a bit to know that I‘m not in this alone. Hugs to you, my friend. 💕 2y

AmyG Ha. Misery loves company. Hugs back! 2y

LitStephanie Agreed! Where I live, it hasn't been locked down for awhile, but reading helped me so much through the long my months of relative isolation. 2y

DivineDiana Books are a gift for the soul. ❤️ 2y

ReadingEnvy @Marchpane 🐙 7y

Tamra @ReadingEnvy where to start? 7y

ReadingEnvy @Tamra If you like memoir,

Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal?

ReadingEnvy If you like lyrical and intimate writing in a love story

Written on the Body

ReadingEnvy @Tamra some of her earlier novels are a bit esoteric, like Sexing the Cherry or The Passion. 7y

ClairesReads Nice choices! I love Annie Dillard, totally didn't think of adding her to my list at all! 7y

ReadingEnvy @ClairesReads have you read her latest, the mighty tome? I haven't made the attempt yet 7y

ClairesReads @ReadingEnvy neither- I'm keen but haven't had the time to dedicate properly to it 7y

kspenmoll Great list! 7y

“When you open a book...anything can happen.” This was so. A book of fiction was a bomb. It was a land mine you wanted to go off. You wanted it to blow your whole day...Books swept me away, one after the other, this way and that; I made endless vows according to their lights, for I believed them...Whole stacks at the library held books devoted to things you knew nothing about. The boundary of knowledge receded, as you poked about in books
