![]() ![]() ![]() You know those one season Netflix shows that seem to cram 4 seasons of stuff into 8 episodes, and the wrap up is a call back to the opening scenes and then you want to watch the entire thing over again and it was the perfect escape, which is why we love Netflix? ( Russian Doll, looking at you!) This book is very much like that. ![]() If you are looking for quiet moments of contemplation, and deep character studies, this is not the book for you. The book was a ridiculously fast read, buckets of rapid speed dialog, all the mundane moments skipped with paragraphs that started with “later that evening” or “two days later”. ![]() As it turned out, this book, that was on a random shelf, in a random library aisle, was remarkably exactly what I needed. One of the books I got was An Absolutely Remarkable Thing, which some friends at work had been raving over since it came out in 2018. I purposely got books that had nothing to do with the year 2020. But I purposely got books that weren’t important. The best thing I did for my mental health in the last 6 months was go to the library. I don’t think any of us have reached our reading aspirations this year. Yeah, nothing my brain rebels more against than being told I have to to do something. It’s been a year of reading important books, and important news, hasn’t it? An Absolutely Remarkable Thing, by Hank Green ![]()
