May 31, 2018October 21, 2023 May 2018 books read The Lord of the Rings – J.R.R. Tolkien, 1955. I couldn’t make my way through this until having seen the first Peter Jackson movie, and, for one of the biggest classics in a genre I love, I’m not that fond of it still. The Soul of An Octopus – Sy Montgomery, 2015. How To Be Both – Ali Smith, 2014. Play it as it Lays – Joan Didion, 1970. Dragonsinger – Anne McCaffrey, 1977 – Still one of my favorite re-reads! Why Buddhism is True – Robert Wright, 2017 – Great and prompted me to try a meditation practice again.
