2024: Book Highlights
| Title | Author | Rating | Review |
|---|---|---|---|
| Letters to a Young Poet | Ranier Maria Rilke | 4/5 | "If you will stay close to nature, to its simplicity, to the small things hardly noticeable, those things can become great and immeasurable." / "You are so young; you stand before beginnings... Try to love the questions themselves," |
| The Dispossessed | Ursula K. Le Guin | 4.75/5 | |
| The Woman Destroyed | Simone de Beauvoir | 4/5 | Three short stories, each crushing in their own way. This book was emotionally taxing, infinitely relatable in its sorrow, and insightful to the woman's experience. |
