“Can you recommend a great book?” People ask me this question all the time.
When we talk about reading, we often focus on the books themselves, but so much of the reading life is about the reader as an active participant. To put a great book in your hands, here’s what I need to know: When you turn to the written word, what are you looking for? What themes speak to you? What sorts of places do you want to vicariously visit? What types of characters do you enjoy meeting on the page? What was the last story you wished would never end? Which was the last volume you hurled across the room? […] To hand you a great book, I don’t just need to know about books; I need to know you. »
— Anne Bogel, I'd Rather Be Reading: The Delights and Dilemmas of the Reading Life (Baker Books; September 4, 2018)

Currently reading I’d Rather Be Reading by Anne Bogel. It’s a good book to end the month on! It’s about 145 pages and the chapters are only a few pages each, so it’s a quick and enjoyable read. It’s an amalgamation of different thoughts, ideas, memories, and challenges that center around Bogel’s personal reading life and the book community in general. It’s definitely brought back so many memories about my own reading journey that I thought I had forgotten about over the years, very nostalgic!

Notes from Reading People - Anne Bogel
accept and understand who you Actually are
There’s no good or bad personality
We’re all ambiverts
Strike your own balance with introversion and extroversion in your planning. Consider work, family, friends
Some things might not be important to you. But consider if it might be really important to someone you love.
Realise there are church introvert or extrovert personalities
HSPs need: clean space, noise. No people
Personality tests are like maps. They don’t get you to places. But gives you better idea of environment
David keirsey - I’m probably an idealist. Wanting to change others. So I end up correcting others out of love. But really, what things are actually Necessary to get 100% correct on
5 Love languages
love bank account
MBTI
answer Qs quickly. Gut level answer. Don’t overthink. True answer, not who you want to be, or learned to become. What I was like as a child.
Mbti isn’t an excuse to not do certain things.
Chapter 7: Understanding the 8 cognitive functions of mbti. Pattern of mental behaviour.
Introvert: directed inwardly, to the inner world. Extrovert: directed outwardly, to the external world. Not to do with sociability
Our personality types don’t change. We just grow in our minor weaker abilities. Dominant, auxiliary, tertiary, inferior
It’s about the functions, and what order
Clifton's strength online talent assessment
for one person, reading might be a helpful way for them to build on their strengths. But for another, not really
Enneagram
Type is based mainly on Motivations. Helps us see junk. And better manage it. Each personality type is seeing the world through different glasses. Pros and cons
Awareness. Acceptance. Action. Adherence. Appreciation - Dr Daniels
Emotionally intelligent couples understand the negative stuff is the fact of life in any relationship. Most marital arguments aren’t solvable because most disagreements are rooted in fundamental differences of lifestyle personality or values. We grow in our relationships by reconciling our differences , not by fixing them - John Gorman
Our personality types don’t determine our life, but inform it
If personality is the lens I look at life through-with awareness of own personality I can look at the glasses, not just through them. And also see how others looks through their lens

"When you decide, in advance, what matters to you, everyday decision-making becomes infinitely easier, because what you do flows naturally out of who you are."
"...when I pause to identify what really matters in the decisions I face, I make better decisions. This is true for significant decisions, like choosing to take a big trip, and seemingly small ones, like choosing dessert."

Currently reading: The Haunting of Hajji Hotak and Other Stories by Jamil Jan Kochai and I'd Rather Be Reading by Anne Bogel
Both of these books have called to me at the same time so I'm reading them concurrently. The Haunting is an ebook for when I can catch a quick at work, and I'd Rather is a hardcover for long breaks or when I can't stare at a screen any longer. I'm loving both, The Haunting shows the relationships between people and Afghanistan and what it means. I'd Rather is about books (obviously), and how they can impact our lives.
When The Haunting gets too heavy for me, I turn to I'd Rather for some levity. But both are beautiful and have their place in my reading journey thus far.

Podcasts I Listen To
Surveillance Report A show about privacy and security, which just goes over breaches and developments in the world of privacy
The Saucer Life A podcast that looks at UFO topics but from a more historical or sociological point of view. The guy, with his very soothing voice just recounts events, usually in chronological order without really looking at if aliens are real or not.
Expanded Perspectives two dudes from the southern US (i think texas?) who spend their free time hunting talk about all sorts of paranormal stuff.
What Should I Read Next? Exactly what it says on the tin. Anne Bogel, the host talks to a guest about their reading life and delve into topics and give out reading recommendations.
Welcome to Night Vale Just got back into it and am listening from the beginning. Surrealist comedy radio show about a fictional desert town. Strong unreality warning!
Podcasts that I used to listen to but now would not recommend
Mysterious Universe Paranormal podcast with two dudes from Australia reading books and delving into paranormal topics. I was a listener for years but stopped about two years ago as they became just very unhinged with transphobia, antisemitism and ableism creeping up not only in their topics but also their banter, Stay away!

hi shay! if you're doing them, i'd love to hear about Thethuthinnang, Clover, and Bluebell for the watership down book asks!
Thethuthinnang: What book do you want to recommend to everyone you meet?
Bad Blood by John Carreyrou about the now-defunct medical startup Theranos is a wild ride.
The Center Cannot Hold: My Journey Through Madness by Elyn R. Saks is a vivid recounting of the author's experiences with academia and schizophrenia.
Smoke Gets in Your Eyes: And Other Lessons from the Crematory by Caitlin Doughty is written by a mortician and will make you think about death and mortality differently.
Ametora: How Japan Saved American Style by W. David Marx is just a super fascinating book about a niche topic.
I'd Rather Be Reading: The Delights and Dilemmas of the Reading Life by Anne Bogel is a fun book for readers about readers.
The Duchess Deal by Tessa Dare revived my hope in historical romance books. If you like romance, read it!
How to Keep House While Drowning by KC Davis should be required reading for anybody who is neurodiverse.
Clover: What book has fundamentally changed you?
When I Grow Up I Want to Be a List of Further Possibilities by Chen Chen is a beautiful collection of poems.
It's Lonely at the Centre of the Earth by Zoe Thorogood is a graphic memoir and was relatable as a fellow creative who was depressed through her early 20s.
This Is How I Disappear by Mirion Malle made me sob.
Death Wins a Goldfish: Reflections from a Grim Reaper's Yearlong Sabbatical by Brian Rea is thoughtful, amusing, and charming.
A Common Table: 80 Recipes and Stories from My Shared Cultures: A Cookbook by Cynthia Chen McTernan is one of my favorite Asian cuisine cookbooks.
In the Small Kitchen by Phoebe Lapine and Cara Eisenpress is a fun cookbook that chronicles their 20s.
Bluebell: Have you ever laughed out loud while reading?
The Hidden Legacy series by Ilona Andrews made me giggle a lot (two words: ferret heist). I'm also partial to the Innkeeper series.
The Masterful Cat Is Depressed Again Today by Hitsuzi Yamada is a manga series that is very totoro x way of the house husband. I too would like a giant cat butler.
Full Sack: Thanksgiving Erotica by Layla Fae is so ridiculous and so charming at the same time lol.

How many of us spend so much time over thinking something that we miss out on an opportunity to move forward?
If you want to stop thinking and start acting, head over to my website for help on how to kickstart your new journey.
Written Link to website in bio 🖤
Here's 10 lessons from Anne Bogel's book Don't Overthink It....
1. Overthinking is a habit that can be broken. The first step is to recognize that you are an overthinker and to start paying attention to your thoughts. Once you are aware of your overthinking, you can start to challenge your negative thoughts and replace them with more positive ones.
2. Most decisions don't matter as much as you think. It's important to remember that there is no right or wrong answer to most decisions in life. You don't need to spend hours or days agonizing over every decision. Trust your gut and make a decision, even if it's not the perfect one.
3. Perfectionism is the enemy of joy. If you're always striving for perfection, you're setting yourself up for disappointment. Perfection is unattainable, and it will only lead to stress and anxiety. Let go of the need to be perfect and focus on enjoying the journey.
4. It's okay to make mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes. It's part of life. The important thing is to learn from your mistakes and move on. Don't dwell on the past or beat yourself up over your mistakes.
5. You can't control everything. There are many things in life that are out of your control. The weather, the economy, other people's behavior... you can't control any of these things. Instead of trying to control everything, focus on what you can control, such as your own thoughts, feelings, and actions.
6. Comparison is the thief of joy. Comparing yourself to others will only make you feel bad about yourself. Everyone is on their own unique journey. Focus on your own goals and accomplishments, and don't worry about what other people are doing.
7. Gratitude is a powerful tool. Taking the time to appreciate the good things in your life can help to reduce overthinking and anxiety. Make a habit of writing down three things you are grateful for each day.
8. It's important to have a life outside of work. Don't let your job consume your life. Make time for hobbies, friends, and family. Having a balanced life will help you to be happier and less stressed.
9. Taking breaks is essential. It's important to take breaks from work and other commitments to recharge and relax. Get up and move around every 20-30 minutes, and take a longer break for lunch.
10. Sleep is essential for mental and physical health. Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep each night. When you are well-rested, you are better able to handle stress and make decisions.

Lectio difficilior
Dear Caroline:
One would think that reading people, based on how important a skill this is for a social animal like us, shouldn't be harder than reading hieroglyphs. And yet this actually proves to be the case, even if here you seem to be going beyond that and towards a more abstract problem of 'relations optimization'. As in sentimental ones, knowledge and investment/trust are difficult to fine-tune. "I wish I knew thy heart", Lady Anne's response to the (shockingly successful) courtship of Richard Gloucester, immediately comes to mind, along with the tragic consequences of her misreading.
I know from other posts of yours that you have suffered a lot from insecurity when young, but I am genuinely baffled that because of your negative self-image, you assumed that people wouldn't want to interact with you. I know I am obviously very biased in your favor, but it is really hard for me to believe that a significant chunk of the people you have encountered since high school haven't fallen under the magnificent spell of such an intelligent, funny, good, interesting and lovely person and personality, and am pretty confident that those blessed with a close interaction with you have ended up appreciating you all the more.
It is true, though, as you say, that some people will like you and others just won't, but in most cases (those where they don't expect/need anything from you, and neither do you), they will be relatively easy to read, unless they are very bashful and introverted by nature. Much like signals of interest in the dating scene, one has to keep picking breadcrumbs and see if there is a path out of the forest of the self. And in my (limited) experience, it has always paid for me not to hold myself back, which as a function of my shyness, would be my natural fall-back mode.
Quote:
For Introverts, the inner world--the world of ideas--is what they think of as the real world. It's where the real action is and where they naturally prefer to spend their time. Interacting with ideas in their own heads is natural and effortless
