sometimes i fear i sound too preachy abt books but it hasn't been that long since i regained the reading habits i had lost for a while so i really felt that essay lol i want everyone else to re/gain it as well..! it's one of the easiest things you can do to make life bearable and your mind clearer
really enjoyed this part as well because truly! it's also one of my favorite things about reading multiple books at once/in a short span of time cause the feeling IT'S ALL CONNECTED AAAHH is intensified that way! it satisfies your pattern loving brain like nothing else and makes it so much fun
found both examples
speaking of the feeling of connectedness it really says a lot how many writers give you the same advice along the lines of keeping a clean house, like mary oliver saying you gotta be reliably there to meet your romeo aka muse and stephen king saying the same thing but with a different made up guy
it's not just limited to books though of course. for example now that i'm making an effort to watch at least one movie a week i've been experiencing it a lot through movies as well... man... i love art
