a short reading list
summer is typically my contemplative season. it is also the season where i usually enjoy reading the most. this year has been a little different. work has been busy and heavy, and the move has taken a lot of that contemplative time i would usually have and forced me to be more of a man of action. but i can see the tides are changing and i have a small selection of books to work through this august:
- %%purple%%is a river alive? — robert macfarlane%%
- %%yellow%%cairn — kathleen jamie%%
- %%green%%enchantment — katherine may%%
- %%orange%%marginlands: indian Landscapes on the brink — arati kumar-rao%%
it is also pleasant that the tourists will be largely leaving oaxaca until the late fall and winter. this means i can read beneath my favourite tree in centro next to santo domingo in relative peace. i can read in my favorite cantinas without bother. ah, dreamy ready times ahead.
