I've been taking a break from social media, specifically Facebook, to focus on a few writing projects. In a way, looking within through art. Or maybe I'm just strategizing about how to live in a less-than-ideal reality.
Whatever the answers... here are my observations from the last month:
- Don't take HVAC systems for granted.
- Internet advertisers: Send me a coupon, get a click. Send me twelve coupons, I'll block you.
- Most of us are dehydrated (drink some water).
- Cold weather = increased coffee consumption.
- Basic civics, logic, and humanities curriculums need more attention in America. Too many people are under-informed and easily manipulated.
- Art saves. Action saves. Bitching is just bitching.
- There are way too many dystopic films for my comfort. (*cough* education)
- One can resist respectfully. Love regardless. Love relentlessly.
- House hunting is equal parts fun and a PITA.
I published a few interviews at Black Fox Literary Magazine and Superstition Review, both on writing/the writing life. Check 'em out!!
Love, Jen
Interesting book picks. I wouldn't have expected Updike to make your list.
ReplyDeleteFlowers for Algernon was depressing. Middlesex was okay I guess. Meh. I've read a few Updikes, but not that one. I don't think I've read any Toni Morrison.
Anyway, my clown story has gone off the rails. Ha.
Rabbit at Rest is one of my favorites, yes. It's so hard to pick a short list of books, and mine would likely change on a daily basis. I just started reading Don DeLillo and would probably add him as well.
ReplyDeleteClowns are supposed to go off the rails! I love it. :)
