Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf. Slow paced since it's literally just about a day in the life of a woman planning a party but I liked the writing. It flows through a lot of perspectives and shows how differently everyone sees each other and themselves and their shared past and it's not afraid to be kind of confusingly figurative. Would read more Virginia Woolf.

In other news, I have been on a huge organization spree. On the one hand, I am intellectually aware that my sudden encompassing desire to organize my entire living space is probably due to the fact that things are really unstable and weird at work and I want to control things in a sphere of my life that I can control. On the other hand, I have purged so much old junk, particularly paper--my nemesis--and like motivation is motivation. I might clean the garage next. I might wash the windows for the first time since I moved here. The sky's the limit.

Oooh, that's relatable. The bad part is when you have organized all of your own things and start 'helpfully' trying to organize your friends/family.... *shifty eyes*

Seriously! And no one ever believes me when I say I'll help them pack for a move! The order from chaos, it's so good. Just the other day, I had my dad's phone while he was picking me up from my mechanic's, and he had all these unread spam texts and I started clearing them out.... I swear I have a problem. /o\
