Substack Reads: Inside the mind of a collector, and a bookseller’s pilgrimage
read.substack.com
Hello and welcome to Substack Reads, where we aim to serve up an eclectic menu of new writing from across Substack, from writers you never knew you needed to read.
I highly recommend this gorgeous long-form essay by the incomparable Amanda Palmer - a beautifully structured meditation on divorce (within the unusual setting of a Ted Talks conference) - a truly lyrical and moving piece: https://amandapalmer.substack.com/p/what-it-feels-like-to-get-divorcedand
I have a coffee meditation obsession. Ex: I drink my coffee being fully present now without looking at the phone or reading anything. Sip and enjoy. (Obsessions can be healthy if they are mindful rituals, rather than mindless habits. )
My favourite thing I’ve found on Substack is Dear Dante. Funniest thing online:

I'm still carrying with me this really impactful essay about language, identity, and family in the Brown Barge by Spencer Orenstein Lequerica: https://thebrownbarge.substack.com/p/how-long-can-you-live-in-isolation
I collect almost everything, but I gotta be careful not to become a hoarder. I’m glad I saw it coming and stopped this obsession.
Keeping my mind busy into something productive, like writing helped me a lot; specially for my mental health and anxiety.
Take a look at my novel I post weekly chapters for!
Thanks for stopping by!💕

I wanted to thank Steve Schmidt for producing an eye opening powerful interview with a female victim and a female attorney about sexual Stealthing……
Thank you for shining light in the dark dusty corners of male dominance and superiority and its dirty painful secrets:)

I am an avid vintage glassware collector. Loved this!
Obsession is funny. I never used to dream of Japan until the old cliche of meeting a girl.
Now I'm here and obsessed with what makes the country unique.
Hope you can check out my substack exploring this here.
