Gift From the Sea, Anne Morrow Lindbergh
28 pages in, I put this down in disgust. I’m sure many readers are grateful for a collection of essays detailing an upper-middle-class wife/mother/writer/community organizer/friend’s search for balance in a world that simply asks too much without offering enough reward, but I am most definitely not one of them.

The Space Between Us, Thrity Umrigar
It’s 3:14am, and I’ve read this entire book in one sitting, starting a bit before 11. Disturbing in many ways, requesting an honesty and clarity of understanding from me-as-reader that I’m not quite prepared to delve into at 3:14 … but that I will most definitely be coming back to.
