Lu reads Emily Ogden
<p><strong>Name:</strong> Lu</p><p><br /></p><p><strong>Reading:</strong> On Not Knowing, Emily Ogden</p><p><br /></p><p><strong>Why did you want to read this?</strong> Emily Ogden’s writing is erudite and poetic. I came to On Not Knowing, a beautifully written suite of personal — but widely relatable — essays, a number of years ago, at a time of change and loss. Informative and honest, Ogden presents accounts of trying to live, and embracing a reinvigorated desire to live, with the uncertainty with which we breathe. I am constantly drawn to her elegant and authoritative approach, offering why we should address our 'blurriest, fleetest experiences’ and move forwards with them. The passage I read deftly turns a recognisable swimming moment into something illuminating in its risks, and intimate; one that connects human realms to those geographically, spiritually and linguistically beyond. </p><p><br /></p><p><strong>How did you record yourself?</strong> I was feeling a little restless before reading, perhaps weighted down by winter’s greyness! Finally finding a spot to read — nestling at the foot of my friend’s bed — with coffee to hand and favourite red socks on, the familiarity and warmth of the room soothed me. Looking up out the nearby window, I spotted a plane slowly part clouds, and in matching its gentle pace I settled into reading Emily’s work, pausing at moments to re-read where I had stumbled, absorb words’ meaning and enjoy her meanderings. </p>

Susan reads Djuna Barnes
<p><strong>Name:</strong> Susan</p><p><br /></p><p><strong>Reading: </strong>Nightwood, Djuna Barnes</p><p><br /></p><p><strong>Why did you want to read this?</strong> I'm friends with the filmmaker Sophie Lee. She has great taste, meaning that as soon as she told me that she was working on a reimagined version of this book, I ordered a copy. And I wasn't disappointed. The originality—not to mention density—of the description is just wild. However, having now read it out loud I wish I'd chosen something different. Some sentences are a whole paragraph long. Plus, I often struggled to pronounce the foreign words.</p><p><br /></p><p><strong>How did you record yourself?</strong> On my laptop, midway through some very boring admin.</p>

Lauren reads Robin Wall Kimmerer
<p><strong>Name:</strong> Lauren</p><p><br /></p><p><strong>Reading:</strong> The Serviceberry, Robin Wall Kimmerer</p><p><br /></p><p><strong>Why did you want to read this?</strong> Sometimes I feel exhausted by systems dictated by ''more'' (do more, have more). Usefully, The Serviceberry asks us to consider "enoughness". The presiding economic system we live in (in the modern Western world anyways) is founded on competition, perpetual growth and the hoarding of wealth and resources. </p><p>This book poses a simple question: what can we learn from alternative economic models as they exist in the natural world and in the cultures of indigenous peoples?</p><p>Kimmerer returns to this question by offering insight into the cycles of the serviceberry plant which is characterised by reciprocity, gratitude and interconnectedness with other citizens (human and non-human). </p><p><br /></p><p><strong>How did you record yourself?</strong> I lit a candle (scent=bay+rosemary), propped my laptop up beside me and tried to ignore the sound of my own voice. At first I felt uncomfortable - it is unusual to read aloud and alone after all I guess? Whilst i was reading it grew dusky outside and the smell from my candle filled the room. After the first few pages, it became kind of meditative and I forgot what I was doing. </p>
