Eternity Is Now in Session: A Radical Rediscovery of What Jesus Really Taught about Salvation, Eternity, and Getting to the Good Place by John Ortberg

I read this twice and I still can’t think of any part of it that made a big impact. I didn’t disagree with any of it, but I think other recent books have given me more to chew on and learn. Maybe I just wasn’t in the right headspace.

Knife: Meditations After an Attempted Murder by Salman Rushdie

This book reminded me that we can choose how we respond, even to brutal, shocking, life-altering events.

Remember: The Science of Memory and the Art of Forgetting by Lisa Genova

The things we pay attention to, we remember.

Go as a River by Shelley Read

Beautiful prose. Not a word was wasted.

Normal People by Sally Rooney

I think I was expecting to be floored, based on the hype. It was nicely written. She does capture the feeling of being truly known, and the horrible discomfort of miscommunication and misunderstandings.
