- Books:
- I'm in the biggest rut currently, so I'm only managing to read like 5 pages from this random book I found in my parents library (they don't usually read, but they have collected a considerable amount of books in their lifetime). The book is Pío Baroja's La Busca, which is about misery, basically. Really appropriate for this year actually. Anyway, on a good day, I might read 10 pages of it. I'm liking it, bc the writing makes the theme even entertaining even if the topic definitely is not. What I mean is, it doesn't come off as too much ugliness (?), as too raw and depressing. Idk. Not the best story for the weeks leading up to Christmas, but whatever, I'm not in a Christmas mood anyway. I hope I get out of this rut quickly and I find my usual joy in books again. ugghghughghhg
