An essay you might like to read:
from The Yale Review
"Writing book reviews today is a vocation, not a career. It’s for people who still believe, against all practicality, that a life organized around literature is worth more than a life organized around money."
What I Posted Last Week Here at Readerbuzz:
even if it meant that I had to buy a copy on Etsy.
Zorba the Greek is a thoughtful character portrait
of two very different men who become friends
told against a harsh backdrop of life in rural poverty.
I began to list 3 Good Things every day during the pandemic. Now I've established a regular routine of writing down my 3 Good Things. Here are 3 Good Things from last week:
Good Thing #1:
My granddaughter, Annie, 8,
sold one of her paintings,
at a farmer's market
for $50.
Good Thing #2:
We celebrated an early Father's Day meal
with my siblings, their spouses, and
my 97-year-old dad this week.
Happy Father's Day to all dads!

our naturalist group
