Reading Recommendations

(Updated March 2024)

I love this quote by Toni Morrison because it is true. Books remain one of the best engines for thought and growth. Unlike social media, they do not dull our minds or senses. Instead, they make us wonder and question. They sharpen my intellect when it starts to blunt. They wake me up when I start to zombie-fy. They force me to pay attention to the world around me again.
