Needed to hear this!! Having this experience of overwhelm the more authors I meet and it reminds me of when I was little and tried to read all the books at my library (spoiler: I did not)

It’s my dream to have a book shelf like that. :) I mean, your reflections on how you were engaging with reading and your question about what you were trying to accomplish by reading are also important (why did I read if not to be moved?), but, that gorgeous bookshelf!

THANK YOU. this was a lifelong dream and basically the only thing i cared about when we decorated our home. i would post the book-filled version but it's quite chaotic and i'm very comfortable in another room.
