I’m hosting Silent Reading Club at 1RG on the autumn equinox (). Bring whatever you’re reading, find a comfy spot, and enjoy a few hours of quiet company with friends old and new. If you’re looking for something to read:
- Into the dark by Kathleen Jamie, a winter spent hunting for actual darkness; quiet, beautiful prose.
- In Praise of Shadows by Jun’ichirō Tanizaki, shadow as something to value rather than banish.
- Total Eclipse by Annie Dillard, light leaving the world; the best “awe” essay in English.
- The Book of Delights by Ross Gay, harvest and gratitude without the sentimentality.
