Status Updates From A Field Guide to Getting Lost

As with everything else I've read from Rebecca Solnit, this is exquisitely crafted and a joy to read. Every paragraph, every word seems carefully chosen and constructed. She's drawing interesting parallels between being lost internally - in your own mind - and being lost externally - in the world. I love the historical references she makes for 17th and 18th century explorers for whom being lost was a way of life.

A really intriguing book, but it's also heavy and difficult to read at times. A slow progress.

een nieuwe favoriet. dit is echt heel goed.

So far, a meditation on the color blue and the importance of losing yourself in the world. Already know that I will read this book again.

looking for an epigraph for my own book...

Definitely one of those books that came to me at exactly the right moment. Definitely definitely.

I am currently LOVING this Rebecca Solnit book. Here's a quote that's worth revisiting: "A city is built to resemble a conscious mind, a network that can calculate, administer, manufacture. Ruins become the unconscious of a city, its memory, unknown, darkness, lost lands, and in this truly bring it to life."

So, I'm loving this so far.

So beautiful.

Not thrilled

Just picked this back up off the nightstand. I am enjoying reading it again, however slowly. It seems that the book is only suitable for me when I am in a certain moderately spiritual place.

I'm taking my time with this one, it's a contemplative book, I'm really enjoying it...

So far I am really enjoying this book. A great book to start the New Year. We all need to get "Lost" sometimes...

"Beauty is often spoken of as though it only stirs lust or admiration, but the most beautiful people are so in a way that makes them look like destiny or fate or meaning" (96)

I'm devouring this book. It's hard for me to put down, and even though it's nothing like I expected, I love it.

Lyrical and thought-provoking.

i love this book, but i'm too busy to make progress of late.
