My god Toni Morrison's sentences are the most beautiful instruments for ripping my heart out.

#booksky #reading #books #fiction #bookrecommendation
Cover of The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison Quote from The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison: " in equating physical Beauty with a virtue, she stripped her mind, bound it, and collected self-contempt by the heap. She forgot, lost and simple caring for. She regarded love as possessive, mating, and romance as the goal of the spirit. It would be for her a wellspring from which she would draw the most destructive emotions, deceiving the lover and seeking to imprison the beloved, curtailing freedom in every way."

Did not expect to find such pertinent wisdom and feeling in a book of poetry about dogs. Dog Songs by Mary Oliver

#poetry #booksky #bookrecommendation #reading #dogs
Cover of Dog Songs by Mary Oliver with a Pomeranian in the background Quote from Dog Songs by Mary Oliver "Tell me you love me," he says. "Tell me again." Could there be a sweeter arrangement? Over and over he gets to ask. I get to tell. Dog Songs by Mary Oliver Emerson, I am trying to live, as you said we must, the examined life. But there are days. I wish there was less in my head to examine, not to speak of the busy heart.

Consent by Vanessa Springora, a memoir of the sexual abuse she endured beginning at 13 at the hands of a famous writer. Every story like this is different but also the same.

#booksky #books #reading #nonfiction #memoir #trauma #abuse
Book cover of Consent by Vanessa Springora. An older man covers a teenage girl's eyes from behind. Quote from Consent by Vanessa Springora: "An absent father who left an unfathomable void in my life. A pronounced love of reading. A certain precocious sexuality. And, above all, an immense need to be seen. All the conditions are now in place."

Motivated to get my attention span back after reading The Sirens' Call by @chrislhayes.bsky.social. It's horrifying how my hand itches for the phone when it's away.

I think this might be my new favorite book? The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin. Exactly what I needed to read in this moment about partnership, about society, and about our mutual responsibility to one another.

I keep my car very clean. There's usually nothing in it. Today is an exception. If someone breaks in, they will get cabbage.
