One of the more interesting passages in the book. Christie was hardly free of the prejudices of her time, but she thought about things white feminists of decades later didn't.

pickA wonderful book focusing on the small moments of joy in our life, like drinking a cup of something or eating something. A book to read in small doses
This memoir of 1930s archeological digs in Syria is, unsurprisingly, all kinds of problematic. Still, if you're fond of Christie's voice there's a lot to enjoy, not least of which is her own enjoyment. It's kind of awesome to read about a middle-aged woman gamely heading out on adventures, and as a working member of a team. As a fan, it's also fun to notice where she used her experiences in her fiction.

I don‘t know how many of you saw the moon earlier, but WOW! It had me texting my friends, “Beauty emergency!” a la Maggie Smith. One of them responded, “The moon was beautiful last night, too.” I don‘t know if she meant it to be an enthusiastic confirmation of my awe or flippant disinterest — but it reminded me of this quote by Anthony Doerr, which I love.
Anyway, the moon. 🌖 Hope some of you caught it!
so-soMostly read cause I'm heading to costa rica tomorrow. Not the best writing but entertaining enough.
pickI‘m probably more on the “self-absorbed ranting” side of the above quote, and philosophy is not my thing at all, but as the wife of a MechEng who maintains all his own vehicles, I found much of interest in this book.

panIs it lyrical or narcissistic? Is the author a brave explorer or a refugee from Darwin‘s law? It feels like he is in love with listening to himself ramble his nihilistic monologue. However, not all readers have partaken of the substances that make philosophers and poets out of every fool.
