Summary

Hey friends, in a world that feels like it's constantly throwing storms, floods, and fires our way (both literal and metaphorical), I want to share something that's been a true refuge for me – reading. Today I'm highlighting two books that have been a balm for my soul: Daniel Mason's "Northwoods," a beautiful story spanning centuries on a plot of Massachusetts land, and Kazuo Ishiguro's "Clara and the Sun," a fascinating exploration of artificial friends and human connection. For my complete reading list, drop me a note at [email protected].

0:48.6	that was to everyone's benefit to share.

1:42.2	and metaphorical, that seem to be breaking out all around us. And that activity
