pickJapanese award winning writer Jun'ichiro Tanizaki pens a classic series of essays that is reprinted reflecting the culture post World War 2. Commenting on Japanese life after a natural disaster, he examines the transformation of western modernization of traditional versus cultural values, art, food, and architecture of the Baby Boom period. An interesting perspective of a hidden society of that time!
Started this audiobook. First time reading Virginia Woolf.
pickI can‘t believe I didn‘t read this before now. Virginia is magnificent. I heard that this was one of the first true feminist essays and it was awesome. She was witty and powerful. I loved the slightly sarcastic tone but also the way she demonstrated how the patriarchy has challenged and molded woman and our expression. The historical comparisons of woman in the arts with dogs is infuriating. A must read for anyone who calls themselves a feminist.

I had a very relaxing hour, listening to the tagged and sipping a delicious winter spiced tea.

pickThis is an interesting collection of reflections on human connections, written in the context of the COVID 19 pandemic. I didn't find his observations on inequality and the wider world particularly original (maybe that's a little harsh), but his insights into his creative process, his mental health struggles and his life experiences generally were really illuminating.

I went walking on Friday in my neighborhood on my favorite walking trail. I wrote about it in the Journal app on my phone and took pictures of these birds that I saw.
