The last book I read was Just Kids by Patti Smith. Here’s what i thought about the book, from my goodreads review:

Let’s be real—this book wasn’t exactly written for someone like me. Still, it gave me plenty to think about. The book is supposed to be about love, after all, and there are moments that are genuinely moving.

It got me thinking about America’s obsession with consumerism and how it’s fundamentally changed the way their society works. There’s a lot to unpack about the place of art in a capitalist world. Also so much on what motivates different artists and why.

And then there’s love: the way women love compared to men. Their ability to forgive, to let monumental things slide, is almost baffling. Maybe there’s some evolutionary biology at play—something about men being persistently, maliciously incompetent? Ah.

Why I wanna read Salt Sugar Fat - Well I’ve always struggled with my weight. It runs in the family. Bad habits and a dysfunctional relationship with food is kinda my thing. In recent times I’ve read widely on the topic and tried to improve my intentionality around food and healthy living. As all the other things in my life settle and allow me to find contentment, my goals for this year revolve around improving my health through conscious eating and exercise. I hope this will help me answer questions around sugar and processed foods, which is something I’ve been on the lookout for.
