From “I Went To See My Father” by Kyung-Sook Shin, a passage that stopped me mid-page:

“Immersing yourself in nature washes away so many things. At the very least, you stop blaming other people. You assume there was a reason for the things that don’t work out. You feel your heart grow bigger.”

Currently reading:“Trailerpark” by Russell Banks on Kindle, “Lost & Found” by Kathryn Schulz, a library hardback, and listening to “Townie” by Andre Dubus, III, on Libby.

Three very different books.I’ll post reports here as I finish each one.

Books #1 - 3 for 2025.

For 2024 I set myself an ambitious 100 books reading challenge. I’d read 70 books in 2022 but couldn’t locate the 2023 list. I slacked off at the end of the year, had a bad cold or a touch of the flu. I completed a total of 73 books. My goal is to read 75 books in 2025.

These appointments prove that insisting people achieve and be promoted based on “merit” was never really their real concern.
