#ShabbosReads
Continued reading Ada Palmer's "Too Like the Lightning" and started reading the so far fascinating collection of essays in αΈ€asidism by Shaul Magid.

Catching up with sharing our #ShabbosReads -

Our publicist (me!) has been reading the print ARC of Duets on Psalms: Drawing Meaning From Ancient Words by Jack Riemer & Elie Spitz. Fascinating so far!

Yes, this isn't the final cover 😺

Slightly late #ShabbosReads -

The Other Talmud - The Yerushalmi by Rabbi Judith Z. Abrams, PhD (Jewish Lights).

We enjoy reading books by our authors also from other presses, and this one was cool too!

We published two other books by Rabbi Abrams - we'll thread them below.

Since #ShabbosReads has somewhat been reactivated, here's what I read yesterday: The book by Rav Kook has been annotated and translated by R. Bezalel Naor. Spent most of the time reading the treasures found in the endnotes. The philosophical biography of Heidegger in form of short fragments by Peter Trawny, co-editor of the complete works of Heidegger, left me puzzled, questioning and wanting to read more. The meta-texts on fragments are excellent.

In my ongoing quest to keep #ShabbosReads a thing, I present this week.
I’m about 1/3 of the way through Priya Parker’s The Art of Gathering at the moment.
@Gaileyfrey’s The Echo Wife was not a great book to start at 9pm and still intend to go to bed at a reasonable hour but I persevered because it was stunning.
@Tkdano’s Under the Henfluence made me laugh and take delight and go on a walk with my youngest to see the neighborhood chickens.

So, um, do we do #shabbosreads on Mastodon? Because I’m halfway through Neon Yang’s β€œThe Genesis of Misery” and finding it very difficult to put it down and go to sleep like a reasonable person.

#ShabbosReads Started with a huge project: Reading Zenith's biography on Fernando Pessoa. Pessoa is very close to my heart (and always on my night shelf) and the reason why I went to Lisbon to study Portuguese. Zenith so far masterfully recreates Pessoa's biography while showing how the different persons in Pessoa's oeuvre are an expression of his rich inner life thereby drawing the reader deep into his imagination.
