Read "The Fault in Our Stars" by John Green
Currently reading "The Bonesetter's Daughter" by Amy Tan.
Who are these people who can make me notice the breathing of my lungs and have it feel like work every time a kid says to herself, "My lungs suck at being lungs," ("The Fault in Our Stars") or who can make me feel sympathetic pain with a woman who was horribly burned before I've gotten to page 5 ("The Bonesetter's Daughter")?!?!?

The Holy Thief, a mediaeval whodunnit by "Ellis Peters."
I originally read the Brother Cadfael chronicles (of which this is the 19th) many years ago, and recently I've been thinking about finding them again. (I read them out of the library in those days.)
Yesterday I happened past a charity shop, so browsed the books (as one does) and found this.
I shall have to start accumulating the rest now...

So Far So Good: Final Poems 2014-2018 by Ursula K. Le Guin.
Outsight
I'm half unseen
to me, my skin
a screen
to all within.
My eyes can see a star
but not my mind.
The more I think, the more
I am unfamiliar.
Insight is half blind
and surface bounded.
Where is my core?
What inwardnesses are
unseen, unsounded?

Be still heart, hold peace, and be still.
