things to read that might give you a lil somethin special

amateur bibliotherapy from your local internetting introvert

In these surreal and stormy times, I’ve been thinking a lot about how my reading choices inform which of my neurotransmitters fire across synapses to light up the JOY or DESPAIR or EXCITEMENT or HELPLESSNESS or ANXIETY switchboards of my brain. As a result, I’ve learned that reading as therapy is relatively cheap and easy and, frankly, has been my modus operandi for years anyway.

As such, I’ve put together some reads that have captivated me over the years and hope that they can offer to captivate your attention too.
