Beautiful book 🥲

This is a picture from the first time I hiked on a little path in the woods that‘s just around the corner from me, in October 2014. I don‘t know why I didn‘t discover it earlier!
Since then I‘ve returned many times in different times of the year and different times of day, in all kinds of moods and all kinds of weather. The soundtrack could be music or podcasts or silence. The river itself has different moods too.

1. Nope. (I am reading 3 different translations of Petrarch simultaneously. But I don‘t think that counts)
2. A minor one
3. Done

Seven books that left a deep impression on me and changed me.
When I left the college campuses, this was my definitive favorite and perfect book. Heavy on nature and with all the important elements communicated between the lines. It‘s a beautiful semi-nonfictional story (and not a bad movie)
@batsy gets the blame for starting me on this. Not sure who hasn‘t been tagged. @RidgewayGirl - interested to share?
pickThis novella is my first red to finish in 2020, read along with Close Reads Podcast. Beautiful! ❤️ {January 1, 2020}

Never read the book but I have seen the movie.
1. Me at about ages 3 and 7
2. Kitties! We rescued three baby kitties and took in my friend‘s cat as well. We went from 0 to 4 cats in the span of 10 days. 😂
3. A River Runs Through It for a class at school
4. What‘s brown and sticky? A stick. Hahahaha
5. Probably about a half hour, more when I‘m not in school @MinDea #humpdaypost
Dive right in, the water is bookish!

Just finished up some late night reading for my American Landscapes class. A good read but not something I would have picked up on my own.
so-soThe writing is poetic and beautiful, this is true. However, there was so much about fly fishing that I sometimes got a little distracted. I was able to see and understand all the layers of the story and the characters, though. It was worth reading once.
"It is those we live with and love and should know who elude us."
"... but you can love completely without complete understanding."
"Help," he said, "is giving part of yourself to somebody who comes to accept it willingly and needs it badly."
Sunrise is the time to feel that you will be able to find out how to help somebody close to you who you think needs help even if he doesn't think so. At sunrise everything is luminous but not clear.
I had already heard more than I wanted. Maybe one of our ultimate troubles was that I never wanted to hear too much about [him].
That's how you know when you have thought too much -- when you become a dialogue between You'll probably lose and You're sure to lose.
... because, as someone often forced to think, I know that often I would not see a thing unless I thought of it first.
Since it was no great thing either way, I finally decided to forget it, and, as you see, I didn't.
Perhaps we always wondered which of us was tougher, but, if boyhood questions aren't answered before a certain point in time, they can't ever be raised again.
My boss suggested I give this a go. And he knows his stuff. So I listened.
It is those we live with and love and should know who elude us.
Just finishing Kaputt and thinking of heading straight into A River Runs Through it. All in the spirit of #readathon, which I only recently became aware. Photo of bedside stack included.
