I've been thinking about books a lot. I always tell people I don't have a favorite, or even a handful of favorites, but now I think that my favorites must be the ones I continue to think about the most. So here are the 10 books that have stuck with me the most, in no particular order:

The Song of Achilles by Madeleine Miller

The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte

Uprooted by Naomi Novik

Kindred by Octavia Butler

Wolf Hall & Bring up the Bodies by Hilary Mantel

Doomsday Book by Connie Willis

Tell the Wolves I'm Home by Carol Rifka Brunt

Salvage the Bones by Jesmyn Ward

The Only Good Indians by Stephen Graham Jones

Books that explore the intricacies of the human psyche are my jam. I love reading books that contain passages so deep and understanding of the way you tick that you have to put the book down and breathe for a moment because mere ink from the pen of a person who lived and died centuries before you just ripped your innards out for all the world to gaze at

The pictures do not belong to me; I found them on the web

I don't believe in superstitions but when I saw the moon spilling its bloody light over the water, I could almost understand what the ancients must've felt like to see a blood-soaked pearl watching their every move

Thinking of Alyosha Karamazov as an angel of death; powerless to stop the tragedies around him yet continually a witness of them, a voice that echoes messages and communicates anguish between people, a healthy, red- cheeked face in a sea of yellowish sickly faces, like a beautiful vision during feverish delirium, living in and out of the world, a visitor during inevitably fatal times that nobody dares to drive out.

My thoughts exactly

sometimes i wonder what must it be like

to have a father you can talk to

without your breath getting stuck in your throat

or your heart pounding so hard like it'd burst

i wonder what it's like to have a father

you are not afraid of.

sometimes i wish i had a normal relationship

with the one man I'm supposed to trust in my life

instead, I'm afraid of him as am I

of any other man who comes my way

maybe this is what my life is going to be

always running away from every man I've known.
