This year I have a goal to teach myself pyrography [wood burning] So I ordered two books from abebooks.com that will hopefully get me started. I like to have a physical copy on-hand, in case I want to write in the margins or take notes. I know, I know, this is so opposite to how I grew up, leaving books in pristine/same condition.

For my birthday last year, I completed my library of the the books written by Ivan Doig. About 2013 a trial court judge turned me on to this fiction/memoir writer, and his writing style has encouraged me to "turn a word like he does!". I also have just completed getting on to my shelves the books by Jane Auel, historical fiction. The goal is to start with the oldest series and work forward.

What about this book, "4000 Weeks, Time Management for Mortals", makes you want to read it?

I have read all of Ivan Doig & even got to "touch" a bed he slept in when visiting Montana. His books are also good to listen to. Jean Auel really takes you back in time=good choices. My favorite in 2024 was ??
"Remarkably Bright Creatures" about an Octopus & a
mourning mother= do listen to this one. Can't remember the author. K
