I think I can finish my physical library book first and still finish this before Thanksgiving! I appreciate it being small.

Turns out there are a ton of social and societal nuances to 1900s Japanese culture that I have no understanding of.

According to Wikipedia, All Tomorrows is in the process of being expanded and I would rather wait until then to read it.

I don't have Twitter anymore so my vote is here for Steppenwolf.

If it bothers you that much, don't participate.

This was a lighthearted little read and the first of Wilde's stuff that I've read.

I am working my way through the poem collection but it takes a lot longer to process than prose.

That sounds like good motivation to read a physical book. I'm all for it.

I will read Einstein on Humanism. I got it in last year's secret Santa, it's nice and small, and I always need more nonfiction in my life.

Einstein on Humanism is, so far, proof that the more things change, the more they stay the same. The pieces here were written in the 1930s and 1940s but they don't feel old because they're still quite relevant.

On Humanism was both a great collection of short essays and kinda painful because of the writings about Judaism and Israel. It's great to know that Einstein felt deeply about things because I, and others, probably just know his scientific discoveries. He wanted to find a way to work with Palestinians on making a multi-ethnic country, explicitly not a Jewish one alone.

I think the person who gave this to me last year said it was important to them. I can understand that.
