  • I’m very close to finishing The Sound and the Fury. It has lived up to it’s reputation of being opaque and difficult. Really more of a checklist book for me.

    I am about midway through Neurotribes. It’s interesting, but has been slow going.

    I’m finally picking up steam on my second read of Infinite Jest. Even better than the first time around.

    I am about midway through Anathem. Neal Stephenson is a gifted writer, but for some reason I really lost traction on this one after I got through the world building and into the actual narrative.

    I am also nearly done with my second read of American Gods. I have it on audiobook this time. Really enjoying the ensemble cast. It’s a good story and I enjoy Gaiman’s narrative style.

    Idk why but ever since my youth I’ve never been able to focus on just one book at a time.


  • Cooking! You don’t need to be a Michelin-star chef (or even aspire to be) but if you can make your own meals regularly you can save so much money. It’s a great way to bond with your kids, too!

    Also, maybe it’s weird to say, but ‘learning’ is an incredibly valuable skill that Will see you through a lot of hardship. The ability and drive to continue learning and having curiosity late into life makes people healthier, happier, and more well-rounded persons in my opinion.
