Hello, Mamas. We are getting performative as possible today. I have to share with you some of my favorite books of all time.

A lot of them are more recent because I feel like I forgot how to read for a good decade

of my life and I'm doing it not performatively with a macha but with this barley tea.

I'm taking it one step further.

I know there's the, there was this whole trend on

TikTok and people making fun of dudes who walk around with a mantra and read a book in the park.

And I found myself looking inward and realizing that that's describing me 90% of the time because

they get a match every single day. And I also read in the park because being in my apartment sometimes feels like a dungeon where monsters live.

But today we are sitting in the Okinawaan airport of Naha.

I don't know why I say it like that.

The Naha airport in Okinawa, Japan.

And we have barley tea. And we're going to sit here. And I'm going to put you on to some recommendations

for books. It'll change your life. These won't be for everyone. These books are just what I

like. Okay? I'm not saying you will like it. But if you need a book, I'd say you could give it a try. That's how recommendations work. The first one that is coming to mind. Well, I guess I'll see what I'm reading right now. I don't know if this, I don't know if I'll be able to recommend this, but it's called Infinite Jest. This book, I don't know if it is in paper. I have it in paper, but I lost it, so I'm

reading the e-book now, but on my Apple Books app, it is 3,000 pages, which is really awesome. I appreciate
