Readings
"You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, who had ever been alive." — James Baldwin

Ralph Waldo Emerson is often credited with saying, "I cannot remember the books I've read any more than the meals I have eaten; even so, they have made me." Ralph didn't have the internet in his time, so I see why he couldn't keep a log 🤭.
Now that we have the internet, this is my attempt to remember the books I've read — so I can revisit the ones that had the most profound effect on me or point others to them.
