Because there's so many different directions we can go in and I'm happy to choose.

I don't know if you've heard me like jotting things down, crossing them out again.

I mean, I got ideas for you, but if there's anything else you want me to know for your wishlist.

And the names is intense.

The Florence Knapp book.

I do think it can be helpful tonally to know what world you're in.

And when you begin the names, you are in that world.

And that world stays pretty steady.

Okay.

Interactions between people, the inner life, how a person learns and grows.

That's what we're looking for.

Let's recap.

You Love, Vera or Faith by Gary Steingart, Patriot by Alexei Navalny, and The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexander Dumas.

Not for you was The Vast or Wild by Lauren Groff.

You are looking for interactions between people and you did not enjoy the descriptions of like the dead dogs lying in the road.

Not for you.

Lately, you've been enjoying Shakespeare, The Man Who Pays the Rent by Judi Dench.

And we both listened to the audio where Brendan O'Hay interviews her.

And also Beth Brower's The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lyon.

And we are looking for books that really deliver on that short, substantial... You enjoy books that have like a kind of philosophy or principles about them, even if it's not stated.
