Reader’s Note
8 out of 10
The dying woman and the chestnut branch outside her window has stayed with me for fifteen years (Aesculus hippocastanum; two blossoms puts it in May). Part two I have never managed to love.

Man's Search for Meaning reviewed by @annotatedannie
Two books stapled together. The first is a witness statement and it's unanswerable. The second is a therapy manual from 1946 and I skimmed a good deal of it. Eleven yellow tabs in part one. None at all in part two.7 out of 10@annotatedannie

Two books stapled together: one of the great camp memoirs, and a therapy pamphlet I would not have finished on its own.8 out of 10@w_okonkwo
