The Center Cannot Hold was a really good one I enjoyed. It’s a memoir about a woman living with schizophrenia. It’s really well-written and pretty eye opening to what living with a mental illness is like

Some recent non-fiction books I’ve really enjoyed: The Anthropocene Reviewed by John Green, Rogues and Empire of Pain by Patrick Radden Keene. Not sure that they’re “useful” but they were all super interesting (and very good on audiobook).

Tried this Santorini retailing for $40. Very concentrated but can’t say I was blown away by it. Volcanic terroir dominates almost to the point of obscurity, and it had strong lemon notes, hints of quince, and sea salt. It clashed with Mexican food (hey I knew that beforehand but didn’t think it would clash THAT bad, and usually pair Mexican with Riesling or Gewürztraminer) but I’m going to Greece soon and wanted to drink Greek wine. I drank half at a BYOB, took the bottle home(cont’d)
