#Reading log
2017-05-30: I’ve started reading 📚 West with the Night by Beryl Markham. It’s amazing. The way she can describe Africa, how she can make you feel that you sit with her in the cockpit looking out over the Serengetti.
2017-06-05: This book becomes more beautiful with every page turn. Beryl is my idol. She has so much strength, and the ability to get down all her stories on paper. It’s remarkable. She’s fused me with so much positive energy over the last week.
