I know The Secret History is the most popular Tartt novel, but this one should be hyped so much more than it is!! It's a super long read, but it genuinely changed me as a person to sit through. It really spoke to me about the meaning of art and human connection and what it means to try to be a good person, even when you are convinced you have already messed up too much or have done everything wrong. I haven't been able to be as interested in many other books since, because nothing seems to be able to affect me as deeply (So I guess it kinda cursed me LOL).

It changed me life for the better. Read it all in one sitting. I recommend it to anyone who wants to be good but doesnβt know what good means to them yet.

I don't care if it's a basic pick but this book is literally so powerful. Just filled to the brim with raw humanity in all the forms it can take. Cannot recommend enough. Read it as a teenager and it changed my life

I love doing collages, cuz all you really need are magazine cutouts and glue. There's a very low barrier to entry, skill-wise AND supply-wise, unlike painting. Digital collages are fun too, but I try to have less screentime by doing the paper ones. If I want to re-use pieces instead of gluing them down permanently, sometimes I'll just take a picture of the current arrangement to immortalize it, and then start over on a new composition. That way, I don't have to constantly buy new magazines to get new cutouts. This is one of my favorite ones I've done so far:

if you have a job that lets u read in ur downtime, they're a great portable option that doesn't require you to invest full focus like you would if you cracked a novel open on the clock! plus they are cheap & open you up to all sorts of niche content you wouldn't encounter otherwise :)
