To be honest, though I loved Screaming Trees, Mark’s memoir is of a self important, narcissist douchebag.
I do not agree with the general reviews that it is amazing. It is not.
If he’s a self-important, narcissist douchebag chances are he wrote his own review.
Don’t mind me though, just thinking out loud.

It was a Sunday Times best-seller and gushed over by most music rags and reviewers (in the scene and out).
It’s rawness likely proved engaging for some, and for others maybe reading of a trainwreck life was fascinating from a distance.
Though a narcissist douchebag, Mark is far too uncaring of others’ opinions to have written his own reviews, or attempted to influence others to write positive ones for him.

I adore your pups 
also fantastic book list. I’ve read most and they are keepers. I’m onto my next don Miguel ruiz- the fifth agreement. The fourth was a keeper too. One of those books that was so good you want to pass it on to others

Hi April, @apes2020 I love to read. All these books are fantastic. You will enjoy The Fifth Agreement, a great read. The problem I’m having nowadays is finding enough time. If I could just figure out how to squeeze 30 hours into 24 it would help. lol 
The pups are a friend of mine and he brings them by quite often to babysit me. 
Always look forward to them coming over. No matter what’s going on in my day it always places me in a great frame of mind when they’re around.
Have a beautiful day in recovery my friend and thank you for reaching out.

Currently I’m reading:
A Better Man by Louise Penny (I just LOVE the Gamache novels)
and
Women Talking by Miriam Toewes
But this week I will also be starting Indian Horse by Richard Wagamese. (My daughter is reading for school and I promised to read with her to help her stay on top of reading)

This is really interesting. The ‘flatness’ referred to in the title relates to a one dimensionally way of thinking, the trappings of ideology. The process of 'unflattening’is a broadening of ones perspectives and the importance of critical thought.
It’s really well illustrated.

I just finished American Dirt. I wasn’t sure if I would read this one because of the controversy associated with it but I did enjoy it.
13 things mentally strong people don’t do. By Amy Morin
Maybe like with everything. It’s always there but takes time to sink in. I can understand things better now.
