literature for the lethargic

books for the spoonies, crips, & other disabled bodyminds. to read when ur feeling slow & sick & cant keep up with everyone else & want to be empowered/comforted. these are books that offer a different view on rest & being out of time/space w everyone else, either by framing rest/sickness as empowering, subversive, or neutral, or by offering a non-ableist way to accomodate disabled bodyminds.

prioritising audiobooks bc 4 me theyre easier to read on low spoon days
