1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die | Peter Boxall

🤣😭 My best score remains in the 1700s. But this is the best I've scored in a bit.

🩵 The Summer Book is an all-time fave. I'm starting a re-read at a Midsummer Festival this weekend.
🩵 In Watermelon Sugar is probably the most obscure book I've read from these lists so far.
🩵 Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? is the only book that I was supposed to read for school, but didn't. 🤭🤫

dabbe I've debated as to whether or not I should ditch this list because it is so DEPRESSING for quite a few of us; on the other hand, I'm not a quitter. I think we have about 3 lists to go, so I'll see 'er through to the end. I'm not tagging anyone because I don't want to torture anybody intentionally, and I don't want anyone to feel bad! To make everyone feel better, my score this week was the LOWEST ever, a whopping 5. 🤣😭🤣 #playatyourownrisk 3d

CogsOfEncouragement I came in at 6 because I counted The Summer Book by Tove Jansson which I am currently reading. Also: Hitchhiker‘s Guide, Slaughterhouse-Five, Play It as It Lays, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, and The Bluest Eye. (edited) 3d

AnnCrystal 👏🏼👀 I'm still hiding 🥸👍🏼😂📚💝...thank you 🤫. 3d

kairosclerosis
n. the moment you look around and realize that you‘re currently happy—consciously trying to savor the feeling—which prompts your intellect to identify it, pick it apart, and put it in context, where it will slowly dissolve until it‘s little more than an aftertaste.

For an instant, eyes
squeezed shut, I burned this moment
into memory.

nodus tollens: the feeling that the plot of your life doesn‘t make sense to you anymore.

Nearly five years gone,
the merry-go-round from hell
still won‘t stop spinning.

Dunno about you all but it feels like my life crashed & burned right around the time the pandemic started. I feel like I‘ve been living in a Twilight Zone episode ever since!
