All that time I had spent readying myself, the articles that taught me life was really just a waiting room until someone noticed you—the boys had spent that time becoming themselves.”

Wow great list. I gotta read Sloane Crosley asap.

Not fiction. But I think Under the Banner of Heaven is a great culty read that shows how impacts of one leader can last for generations and splinter into more cults and crimes. TV show severance is my current fav culty watch!

thanks so much! and yes, love sloane. start with one of her books of essays. i read them all back to back so can't really distinguish one from the other but you can't go wrong.

all genres welcome! i love switching them up in the same post. helps me be less literal ya know?

I've heard that title! a hulu show with andrew garfield? didn't realize it came from a book!

omgosh severance is so incredible. haven't started S2 yet but rewatched S1 in two days. it was so absorbing even on re-watch!!
