I love this book I found brand new at the used bookstore. Emily Dickinson is a favorite of mine. I don't draw, but I am going to take this up north and write down my nature observations over the summer. I was so fascinated with the wildlife from bugs to wolves last summer that I thought this sounded like a fun way to keep track of things.

A Shining, by Jon Fosse. You drive to the end of a road and hike into a Norwegian forest in winter, where you become lost and may die but your brain meanders casually over many topics until some presences show up which really don’t help much, so your brain keeps thinking random thoughts. 4 of 5 library cats 🐈 🐈 🐈 🐈

@kenthompson @bookstodon I read this book — sat on a bench & did not leave until I finished— even when it started to drizzle rain. An incandescent book
