A beautifully written book that explores our perceptions of and traditions around death and dying.

Authority: A Novel | Jeff VanderMeer
Pickpick

A book that is slow to start but becomes hard to put down in the second half as layers upon layers get pulled back on the mystery of area x. So excited for the final book.

Eating Animals | Jonathan Safran Foer
Pickpick

Having both been omnivorous before reading the book, I am now vegan and my partner is now vegetarian. A wonderfully written, if very difficult, piece of creative nonfiction.

A quick and lovely guide to considering how what you leave behind affects others in a way that you can resolve now.

Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life | Francesc Miralles, Hector Garcia
Bailedbailed

Much like with Lagom I felt this book was written in a way to drastically simplify a culture such that it lost its context and meaning. There's a small list at the front that contains the aspects of Ikigai. After that I felt like it was stretching to make a book out of the list.

Felt very underwhelmed by this selection of things to do if you're privileged and live in a society that holds value for all of the things mentioned.

Feeling validated and heard and a little less alone in the ways I conceptualize myself on the planet as I read this book.
