Just finished My Struggle Book 1 by Knausgaard. He writes about the mundane with the same intensity as major life events. Brutal honesty about awkwardness and family damage. Completely changed how I think about daily experience. On to Book 2. www.baltimoretom.com/blog/what-i-...

Happy birthday, Count Leo Tolstoy. Every weekday in 2025 begins with Anna Karenina and The Calendar of Wisdom. A quiet ritual that brings clarity. Your work still offers insight, still speaks to what it means to be human. Thank you for the company.
