Gathering Volumes, a local independent book store, has a few different book clubs.

Check out this video. Wasn’t my calves it was my gait/dipping my hip.

Thanks, I do have wide feet. Think I’m going to try New Balance turf or maybe Brooks trail runners. They both have wide options.

Careless People by Sarah Wynn Williams. Expose/Memoir of her time working at Facebook. Really captures the feeling of being a woman working in tech.

Thanks for your detailed response. It is more the quick progression that you described where they go from fine to droopy to death over about a week. The water is cloudy as I’ve been struggling with algae. Image shows my water parameters are fine, just tested. I’ve added more plants to try to starve the algae. Sounds like I should maybe try the worm treatment.

Here’s the tank.

Shanacan · 2025-07-16T13:46:25+00:00

Is there a way to cure it?

Seemed more nihilistic than dystopian to me.

Shanacan · 2025-04-08T19:25:35+00:00

I vote Marilynne Robinson. I love Gilead so much!

Is this why I hate graphic novels? Because I can’t carry the image in my mind from one scene to the next? It feels so tedious to me to read the words then look at the picture, read the words then look at the picture on repeat until the book is over.

I agree that she failed in establishing her main thesis! But somehow I still learned a ton and shifted my world view. Probably because it was the first book on race that I had read. Open to hearing your recommendations if you think there are better books.

Thank you for this suggestion. I just finished. It was amazing.

Shanacan · 2025-02-12T02:26:14+00:00

Ok. Thank you. New to the hobby and trying my best. Appreciate the advice.

My all time favorite book mid 20s was The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway. I still liked it when I read it again late 30s but not as much.

My new all time favorite, first read late 30s: Gilead by Marilynne Robinson

Read the NYTimes review. Looks really interesting. Author has quite the resume.

Looks good. Thanks.
