Finished Out of Your Mind by Alan Watts yesterday.
While most of it was absolutely wonderful and interesting and felt like an intro to Buddhism/ideas around it, I often felt myself just listening and becoming one with the road as I listened.
I think that was the point? At least I hope it was.

Just finished reading @anandalima.bsky.social Craft: Stories I Wrote for the Devil and, honestly, if you are a writer or do anything that requires a serious consideration of craft (however you define it), these stories are for you.
Stunning opening story and "Idle Hands" is so so brilliant.

On my drive to work I finished Essays of E.B. White today on my Hoopla!
I was surprised by how much I enjoyed his writing about nature and his humor. Genuinely something I wished went on a little longer.
My access to Hoopla is through my local library Normal Public! Woot libraries!!
