157/365

I've been keeping a mental list of the best books I've read this year. I'm only about 20 pages into Maggie Nelson's The Argonauts, but I've already gone ahead and slapped it on there, certain, admiring.

 

I really have no idea how to describe this book in concise terms. It's not like anything I've ever read. In an overarching way, I wonder where exactly we're headed, but page by page there are ideas, wrenchingly thoughtful ways of considering the world that I get so lost in, I don't care where we go so long as I can go slowly and take it all in. It's graceful and deep and precise and poetic. I've been dog-earing almost every page.
