What is the best book you've read this year? I loved
#LincolnInTheBardo by George Saunders. Difficult to get into, but once you do, it's magical. I went back and listened to it on Audible. 10/10 Highly recommend. #booksky

And yet, still: I had my moments. My free, uninterrupted, discretionary moments.
Strange, though: it is the memory of those moments that bothers me most.
The thought…that other men enjoyed whole lifetimes comprised of such moments.

Tardy #QOTD for June 30, 2023, is from #LincolnInTheBardo by #GeorgeSaunders "Strange, isn't it? To have dedicated one's life to a certain venture,neglecting other aspects of one's life, only to have that venture, in the end, amount to nothing at all, the products of one's labors utterly forgotten?"

Revisiting this contemplative and haunting piece about loss 💙📘 #Booksky #lincolninthebardo #georgesaunders #fictionlit #reading
