    Another book I’ll start, set it down and never pick it up again.
    It’s upsetting, I used to read constantly, finish one start another. But my mind will not slow enough for me to enjoy it these days.

    I keep trying.
    “Extinction” , Douglas Preston

    Starting this book The Eternal Husband

    "This remarkably edgy and suspenseful tale shows that, despite being better known for his voluminous and sprawling novels, Fyodor Dostoevsky was a master of the more tightly-focused form of the novella.

    The Eternal Husband may, in fact, constitute his most classically-shaped composition, with his most devilish plot: a man answers a late-night knock on the door to find himself in a tense and puzzling confrontation with the husband of a former lover—but it isn’t clear if the husband knows about the affair. What follows is one of the most beautiful and piercing considerations ever written about the dualities of love: a dazzling psychological duel between the two men over knowledge they may or may not share, bringing them both to a shattering conclusion."

    Just re-read Mort by Terry Pratchett and working on Soul Music again.

    Also The Search by Nora Roberts.

    And listening to Slow Productivity by Cal Newport.

    Apparently, I can't read just one thing.
