The Abundance: Narrative Essays Old and New by Annie Dillard

5.0

I would give it 6 stars if I could! I didn't even know my soul was so tired until this book woke it back up! Dillard's writing is magical and makes you look at the "ordinary" with fresh eyes and excitement. It was like washing my face with freezing cold water. A paragraph about a sheet of ice moved me to tears. When I finished it I just flipped back to the beginning and started it over again. I can't wait to go back and read all the full books that these excerpts are from. (Pro tip: Read it out loud if you can.)
