Welcome to Litsy!

I seem to have a talent for choosing strange books to start with when it comes to new-to-me authors. Annie Dillard wrote this slim text, 66 pages, over the course of 3 days when a young girl went down in a plane crash on the Washington island where she was living. She writes about a child‘s face literally burning off…but in the style of Mary Oliver. On hallucinogens (which she was falsely accused of using while penning the book). It‘s a lot.👇🏻

I read this too fast. I didn't mean to but I did. This is a book that you need to read when you have lots of time to just sit and think all the thoughts. It is beautiful and I will read it again more slowly.

This book and a huge cup of coffee was a great start to my day!

That awesome moment when you go to a David Rameriz concert for date night and the opener/piano guy, Matthew Wright, has his own "Travelin' Book Club". So, of course I bought a book for $5! #bestdatenightever

this book made me so angry in how detached and insensitive it was to the lives of actual people for the sake of its philosophy
