(Always taking recommendations!)

Rory gilmores reading list

a list of books that catapult you right into a different historical & cultural context and part of the world because of how vivid the writing is.

To getting myself off my jarring Instagram feed, turning the embarrassment at my own naivety into unjudgemental curiosity by taking agency in what I learn about the world (and lowering my anxious resting heart rate); mix of non-fiction and fiction because sometimes novels depict our current world more accurately than a documentary

Non-fiction books related to the humanities. Think: arts, language, culture and what we do with it. Mix of essays, memoirs, literary criticism, histories, and more.
