DRAWNIMO!

We'd rather have our comfortable life and not think about all the horrible things required to sustain it. Just finished reading What We Can Know. They whacked Percy so they could move on and have their love nest, but carrying out the whack ruined their future. Vivian didnt even write the book she told herself she would. No one even liked masterpiece poem. And her attmpt to destroy the poem and make it forgotten to history actually acheived the opposite elevated it to mythic status. I did enjoy the story and could see it as a movie. And I enjoyed the act of reading the book. A deliberate effort to combat the noise, I think was successful and I am encouraged. My brain did start to feel the relief of slowing down and quieting down and looking at only book pages (and cats) and hearing only ambient apartment sounds (and meows) for extended periods. I did not find it difficult to spend a solid hour just reading. For the most part. I think there were a couple sessions where maybe I was tired or distracted but overall this was a worthwhile experiment. 400 pages in 2.5 weeks.
