Well, he kills Victorās wife in the endā¦ Itās all rather tragic. Very beautifully written and horribly underrated by the modern take on Frankensteinās monster

Just finished this one. The concept is nice, but I felt it was lacking something. Some parts were meh. But overall a good book if you like books that make you think

I was reading this book. Itās an okay book, but very happy to see LP references in there! The protagonist mentions going to a concert and the song Valentineās day.

I finished M Train by Patti Smith last night. Brilliantly written (though not as good as Just Kids). Started Fleaās memoir and just now and look what was on the first page: one legend writing about another legend :ā)

Update: I finished Fleaās book a few days ago. It was really good, I loved the fact that it was written completely (or almost) unedited, just the way heād talk in real life. Gives you an idea of who he is as a person, and heās so damn descriptive. Definitely worth a read!
Amongst others, I added these two to my to-read list, hopefully Iāll manage to go through a couple on my holidays:

Finished this couple days ago, since @IllWill33 recommend it to me last year:
Opened up my eyes to the importance of sleep and how it affects our health if we skip it. Also includes tips on how to improve your sleeping habits (@the_termin8r interested? 
)
Definitely recommend it, since itās written in an easy to understand way despite the used terminology and studies being explained.

I know how important sleep is, I also know how to improve my pattern. Itās just that a lot of the time I have no choice lol. Granted, over the holidays, itās all on me, but during term-time, Iām usually swamped with work.
I understand. Thought of you because I remember how we discussed our sleeping patterns a while back. Sometimes Iām swamped as well, but I rarely let that get in the way of my sleeping routine. Health is more important

Iām always swamped. Iāve currently got my masters dissertation to be doing, a group project, studying for an exam on the 8th and society duties (a range of things too long to list). I go back to uni on Mon, that means starting 4 new modules, continuing 2 others, finishing up a 3rd (this is not counting my dissertation as a module, which it is) and one of the new modules is actually another group project. This is also not counting studying for 5 or 6 final exams and any assignments that get dished out for modules in between.
When youāve been exposed to this level or torment for over 3 years, you get used to it.

Yes, do share the tips please! Sometimes I think everyone can struggle with sleep and itās not always time limits but the stress of knowing everything you have to do that stops you switching off. Iām more intrigued by the effects of dreams on reality. I need to read up on that.
Wishing everyone restful nights and wonderful dreams

Last term wasnāt as heavy for me. Just 4 modules (with assignments), my dissertation, a project, a bunch of society duties and the exam I have on Wed. Itās why I could still afford to work on perosnal projects.
Iād never get used to that, canāt believe youāre able to handle all that. In any case, good luck!
The list is too long to share here so Iāll post a link: Matthew Walker - 12 Tips for Good Sleep - Author of Why We Sleep
The book actually does expand on the effects of dreams. but not for too long. If youāre just gonna explore dreams, I recommend checking out Carl Jungās work, especially this book: Man and His Symbols - Wikipedia
