started listening - The Secret Garden (Complete audiobook with rain) - Down To Sleep
by Frances Hodgson Burnett. 2 stars.

[re-read] Illness is all in your head which can be overcome through fresh air & mental fortitude. Fuck that shit ... Surprised it didn't trigger me on my first read (4 stars)!

finished reading The Hobbit 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
by JRR Tolkien.

[re-read] The dwarves are dead weight - it's all Bilbo and Gandalf. Gollum really gets a raw deal in the riddle game.

finished reading Contact 🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑
by Carl Sagan.

A message from outer space is detected, and humanity sets about decoding it, then attempts to make contact with the originators. Delves into the nexus of science & religion, the complexity of international collaboration, and the social upheaval of such a paradigm-shifting discovery. Some excruciating elite-level gaslighting. Surprising ending!

finished reading The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde 🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑
by Robert Louis Stevenson.

When our baser urges are allowed to run free, they end up dominating. Disturbing, even if the 'science' is a bit amusing.
