I don’t knowits coziness level but it has New Hampshire right there in the title. I enjoyed when I read it years ago. (cw: suicide)

Entertaining stories about messed up family dynamics are my catnip. John Irving‘s characters are always on the edge of making stupid choices that I can sympathize with and that emotional suspense keeps me coming back.

Moving in a cold way, funny in a dry way. Re-read it today with the transition from young adult to just Adult weighing on me, whatever that means, if anything. Fans of Larry David might enjoy
‘He’s a nice little fellow. When I first met him, he barely spoke. I determined that he liked words but in isolation, as individuals. He didn’t like them gathered together. He seemed to feel they got dumber gathered together.”
“I was with you when we moved in, Dad. His mother brought over that awful fudge.”
“Can’t recall the fudge.”
“To welcome us to the neighborhood. It was just awful.”
“We’re talking about fudge?”’

An escapism read at it's finest during a time we need it most. Indulge in the effervescence of Shangri-La (not Rick's house). Doesn't hurt that every edition of the novel has different, but uniquely excellent cover artwork.

I’m not sure why, I guess things ending are sad. Here’s a self portrait I made in charcoal. The proportions are wonky but it kinda looks like me!

The occupation persists, the oppression persists, the torture persists.
The occupiers are psychotic and their work is never finished.
People who’ve paid attention won’t be surprised by this photo from Gaza.

I’m 50, I say because that makes me unusual in this context. I paid [redacted] for a ticket to the Eras Tour after listening to tswift for 3 weeks, and it was worth it. In second grade my teacher gave kids birthday spankings over her knee, and in sixth grade my teacher told my mom I hadn’t blossomed yet. I’m a good friend, mostly to people on the internet. I’m good at conversing with strangers. I’m usually the oldest person at the show but don’t feel like it. I’m good at being helpful. I’m sarcastic and funny and make myself laugh. I’m a good graphic designer and a conscientious driver. I’m a good photographer and I can successfully follow recipes. I don’t use my Peloton enough. I did a lot of caregiving for my mom for several years, and we enjoyed spending time together even if it was mostly in waiting rooms and my car. The fastest I ever ran a mile was eight minutes and six seconds. I drove the same car for 20 years and then replaced it with another one. I enjoy tipping, giving money to people on the street and Disneyland. I am a fan of baseball, Formula 1 racing and the Criterion Channel. I solve about 80% of New York Times crosswords. I take Prozac and Wellbutrin, and take Trazodone to sleep through the night. I wish I had a glassed in solarium so I could sleep in it on rainy nights. I would like to have a pet cat and a garage. I could happily live eating only cereal and fruit. I overshare on the internet and undershare elsewhere. ✌️💛
