Future home of the living god

Currently reading: Future Home of the Living God by Louise Erdrich 📚

I have been on a tear of readings really, really, good books lately. After years of reading maybe a novel or two a year, I’ve fallen back in love with “the novel,” and have been reading a lot more this year. I’ve been getting very excited about so many books and using so many superlatives to describe them. I will have to work on this, I now. But I need people to understand how amazing this book is. 2024 is the perfect time to read a book about the fall of society, religious domination of the state, resisting the subjugation of women’s bodies for science and the state, Indigenous sovereignty, the meaning of family and the forms it can take, and more. There is just so much Love in this book. So much hope. I’m flying through this book at an incredible pace and am sad that the ending is coming because I just want to stay with these characters.
