Dipping in and out of a book while the kettle boils or out walking needs to be for a particular kind I think. Or at least not human stories being told that would benefit from heart and mind being more invested.
Despite its casual intake, this still managed to touch me and I'm glad for any excuse to humanise people around the world in places I can't comprehend.

This was shelter box's monthly read and I look forward to more.
