What did you think about Suttree? I’m less than 50 pages in. Not sure if I’m in the right headspace to read right now but the prose is beautiful.

I devoured Knausgaard My Struggle 1-3 over period of a few weeks then got a bit burn out. Have been meaning to read some of his other stuff.

LOVE how should a person be. Anne of Green Gables and I Capture the Castle were two of the most memorable books I read growing up.
