Sick in bed and (oh well) getting a chance to reread some books, courtesy of libby. Some books need to be re-read over and over again:

Naval’s Almanack

4000 weeks

Consolations of Philosophy

The minimalists

Incognito

Mostly a half-arse reader. I don’t read from cover to cover or even bother with books at all. I just go to goodreads, get to the juicy quotes and consider it done. Here are some from Silvia Hartmann.

“It is the hardest thing of all, the one thing that will show if you have the one true courage. To know that you have failed, that your best efforts have been defeated, to not be able to stand it, to not be able to go on and yet to go on nonetheless.” 

“One should not confuse creativity with whining.”

But I might be looking for yet another quote.

Headed to a dark place.

for the character in Alice in Wonderland who said, “Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place.”

“If you say I can’t,” said Crews, “I have to find out if I can’t. I won’t take your word for it.”
