Re-read 10 years later and yup... this is still THE book for children!! I vividly remember reading When You Reach Me for a middle school...

An interesting collection of case studies, but an unconvincing book. I was excited to pick up Rhaina Cohen's The Other Significant Others...

Simon became inarticulate in his effort to express mankind's essential illness. Well, this seems particularly resonant at this current moment in history 😀 and I don't think that's a good thing. I'm not even going to try to write a polished essay here while I know that there are hundreds out there about this classic, ones written by scholars much more equipped to articulate "mankind's essential illness" than I am.

Unfortunately, I always feel like manga reads like a plot outline rather than a fully fleshed-out story, so I don't think i'm intrigued...

When I went to the kitchen to get some ice, I would look up at the clock hanging above the door: 'only two more hours,' 'only one more hour,' or 'in one hour I'll be here and he'll be gone.' Astonished, I asked myself: 'Where is the present?' At only 67 pages, I'm astounded at how much impact this memoir (?) had on me. If you appreciate the candid nature of Sally Rooney (particularly her short story, "Mr Salary"), you're gonna love Annie Ernaux. Written as an account of her e
