I know it’s not mathematically possible, but doesn’t it feel like the right thing to at least try and read all these books this weekend?

Happy Giving Tuesday. I love Write 253 so much and the Remann Hall Book Club is one of the best things it does. Could you please donate what you can to get books to youth experiencing incarceration? https://www.write253.com/donate

I needed something good today and so I watched this video from a few days ago of John Keene winning the National Book Award for Poetry. A beautiful writer, a beautiful book, a beautiful speech, ah, this was just what I needed.

For the record, I am loving Cormac McCarthy’s new novel, The Passenger.
There should be a German word for that beautiful feeling you feel after finishing a terrible book and starting a wonderful book.
I'm finally done reading the book!!!!
I’m starting to like the book I forced myself to keep reading that has made my reading life miserable the last four days. So was not quitting… worth it?
No one ever tells you the real reason you shouldn’t spend time finishing a book you’re not liking is that you drag it out forever because reading it is such a chore and that’s all wasted time you could be reading multiple good books instead.
