Good morning! LOST THINGS I am in the midst of the book An Inventory of Losses, by Judith Schalansky. It’s a short book, consisting of 12 chapters about places, animals, and objects that are lost to history. Among the lost items are a Pacific island, the Caspian tiger, and the love poetry of Sappho. Despite being middle of this one but I figured I would share why I chose it and why I like it so far. The notion of remembering things that are lost to us is a great conceit and makes for an interesting read.
