I finished the Chosen by Chaim Potok today…
That was a very good book. I highly recommend it.
It’s one of those books that, even before I finished it, I couldn’t wait to read it again.
It’s one of those books that makes me want to learn, to know, to become. To grow wings just so I can fly to close to the sun. It made me want to live.
It also hurt. Because, like Babel or The Night Circus or Symphony for the City of the Dead or a dozen other beautiful books, it reminded me of the way the world could be. And that makes the world that is hurt so much worse. It is so endlessly frustrating to look up to the stars and find yourself unable to reach them because of a dozen heavy chains that you’ve never controlled.
Anyway.
If anyone’s read it and has recommendations for similar books (not necessarily the same topics, but the same feel, the same vibe, the same power) I’d love the hear them
In other news, I’m…
I’m okay.
Struggling a bit, but alive.
The shard is quiet. That’s a lil sad, it used to always be so alive.
Hope you guys are doing good. If you wanna talk about literally anything, be it sad or happy or weird or random, I’m here.

QuoteMe too, me too. Oh and um JM we were talking about music, but I have read Circe and yeah it was pretty mid, had its moments though.
No that's literally my bad I was trying to be a part of the discussion but misunderstood
just ignore me
@The Bookwyrm IM SO SORRY THATS RIGHT !!!! Also I didn't know calano was still active, I haven't seen them on here in a long time.
Both points prove I shouldn't be on the Shard late at night lol (she said, on the Shard, late at night).
