I got this from the library out of curiosity -- it was such a thing ten years ago, that even though I never read it I felt like I knew everything in it by osmosis. I was reminded of it because I am approaching my first year anniversary of living in my new place and I thought it might be fun to follow this book as a bit. But ultimately it's seeped so thoroughly into the mainstream consciousness that commentating on it didn't seem that fun.
There is however one thing which no one told me: at one point she genuinely claims that completing her method will often cause people to have diarrhea.

I re-read The Space Between Worlds to refresh my memory when I saw that this was out, and I was nervous to see what this would be, since that story felt.. concluded. But seeing that it's following different characters is a relief! I'm curious to see where it goes.

"God spoke to me, he says he wants me to tell you about all the times I was right and you were wrong"
mouse commented on The Book of Margery Kempe by Margery Kempe
this is a wild read and it's sort of comforting that a lot of her contemporaries, even in her account, seem to also be going "Margery, what?"

Fantastic Planet does the Book of Kells
This book is so visual and imaginative, and thrives when walking you through the surreal, psychedelic, illuminated manuscript of a world. But while it was always interesting, I found it hard to stay engaged with the story at times, particularly in the middle. The ending compelled me, and I wish I'd had more of that connection to the plot and characters through the rest of the book.
