A busy month in general, and filling in a lot of free time with pickleball and horror movies.
- Meditations Marcus Aurelius. I can't get beyond this text as a illustration of the massive privilege (a word I avoid as much as possible).
- Harvest Home by Thomas Tryon. Trope of the petit patriarch assuming superiority over everyone only to fall hard
- Greengage Summer by Rumer Godden. "On and off, all that hot French August, we made ourselves ill from eating the greengages."
- Horror Movie by Paul Tremblay. A mid riff on the "cursed film" trope. Kind of ok in parts, like the method acting=descent into psychosis idea.
