A final humble recommendation:
Life Matters 
I’m tending to use Audible a lot at present and have Underland by Robert Macfarlane, Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel and Science & Spiritual Practices by Rupert Sheldrake all on the go at present. I have two by Sam Harris lined up in my library for next. I have an annual subscription to Audible giving me 24 books per year, but I’ll read at least another 40 or so on my kindle.

Yes, I’m using Audible more now myself. Easy to multi-task on long solo drives.

It’s a special day for us bibliophiles! I just finished Kristin Hannah’s BETWEEN SISTERS, an earlier gem of hers, but I just discovered it. Now on to short stories by Gogol, in translation. An animal lover and Russia wonk, I enjoy his detailed descriptions of farmlife and the Russian and Ukrainian countrysides.

Thank you, Lisa. Yes, we booklovers are kindred spirits. Also, I’ve had a fascination for Russian stories in books and in film. One of my favorites is Russia House. 🙂

I am humbled and honored to be included on your book list. In fact, Corso’s book looks like a real gas. I love his poetry. Of course, what I love about the last book, is that it is natural. And you know that’s my bias. Thank you Patrick.

You are worthy, Ari. You are also often a compassionate source of gentle relief like nitrous oxide (aka laughing gas). 🙂
