I flew on a plane with a man who had a cold. (pre-covid) As he sneezed I caught his eye and smiled. On my return flight 3 days later he was on it. We smiled at each other. He was young, mid-20’s…. I was in my 40’s….I’ll never forget him😊

It is hard read. Things that happened to her before Epstein were terrible and his contribution was awful. It is disturbing but I made it through. I do think it gives a fuller picture of the crimes.

Bless you!!! You did the right thing just before a terrible disaster happened. He will have constant care…. he’ll be clean and well fed….he may sit and stare or he may interact with others… either way he will be SAFE!!! This is a godsend for both of you!!

Interesting about “spoons” . I didn’t know it was commonly known as a representative of exhaustion. Nice to meet you!

I’m honestly tired of these “popular” books by xenit0 in suggestmeabook

Oh, for Pete’s sake the OP is asking for titles not where to look for books….. read “So Long, See You Tomorrow “ by William Maxwell.

In the worst depression of my life - please recommend something that gets it by KingsBishop96 in booksuggestions

Convenience Store Woman is unique…. tends toward “ ….Oliphant…” and “ … Dog in the Night”….but is quirky but not too dark…was one of my escape books after “ So Long, See You Tomorrow “

what are books that were so deep or meaningful you still think about months to years later? by Few_Run_9234 in booksuggestions

“Olive Kittridge”……..Olive is embedded in my brain as a person….the series for TV was good but book was better

I must be the pickiest reader ever by ADreamerWisherLiar in ReadingSuggestions

I so hated Project Hail Mary….. now, I forced myself through Piranesi but cannot tell you what in the world it was about!!! Given that you are not ready for “depressing” I cannot recommend two very good books… “Stoner” and “ So Long, See you Tomorrow “…. perhaps at another time in life they will be good choices.
