Which books sit on your nightstand?

Sorry, it is just an image from internet. I have the printed book but you can easily find pdfs. I do recommend the book, simple but so deep and wise. One of the best books ever written IMHO

Ah yes I know but there are several versions and was interested in which version by which translating author you found useful. Could you share the ISBN? 

 

Will take a look at it on Amazon.

 

Thank you.

It's good, I understand it as meaning ... there is nothing wrong with you including all the dark and smelly pieces.

where crawdads sing

delia owens

 

technically not on my nightstand

just last book I read recent

 

ode to nature/rural north Carolina marsh life

 

fiction

 

"sand keeps secrets much better than mud"

 

 

prologue: first paragraph only

 

Marsh is not swamp. Marsh is a space of light, where grass grows in water, and waterflows into sky. Slow moving creeks wander, carrying the orb of the sun with them to the sea, and long-legged birds lift with unexpected grace--as though not built to fly--against the roar of a thousand snow geese.

My current stack. Weird habit, but I'm usually reading around 10 books at the same time. Not a humblebrag, I'd likely get far more reading done were I ever to figure out how to be more linear.  🙄

You may want to add this lively book to your nightstand (if it can stand it, considering its already heavy burden):
