Books I RE-read this year (and most years) that always offer something new: - The Alchemist (Coelho) - Please Kill Me (Legs rules!) - Confederacy of Dunces - The City & The City (Mieville) New books are cool, but some are special. ✌️ #booksky

I told my kiddo that I should learn to play bagpipes and accordion simultaneously, and she included it on an actual running list she keeps naming specific things to tell Dad not to do in the future. It’s a marvelous list, although I disagree with many bullet points on principle.
