What books are currently piled by your bed? (IRL or digital.) This is #MyBookPile, and it’s mostly escapist. Except for 1984, which is eerily on point with what has been happening in the USA. And Utopia For Realists which feels pretty unrealistic in this moment.

I bought a one-month membership to a pool club for $115 and went almost every day. It has a large hot tub, cold plunge, small gym, beautiful garden, and a great cafe. The club is open early so we often have breakfast after swimming. Feels lux. Might do another month. #LifeInAThaiForest
