currently reading: Orlando by Virginia Woolf, A Buzz in the Meadow by Dave Goulson top reads 2025 Hiroshima by John Hersey - journalism within appropriately vivid prose, the writing is unflinching and at points gruesome in portraying the consequences of nuclear war. watching these people's stories converge and intertwine, seeing these recurring faces struggle and persevere - its difficult, but it displays fully the rallying of the human spirit and our ability to survive devastation. the final chapter is incredibly biting in its commentary.
