"Ongoingness" is a reflective memoir that delves into the author's obsession with documenting her life through an extensive daily diary, a practice spanning decades. The narrative explores themes of memory, time, and the desire to capture moments against the relentless march of time. As the author becomes a mother, her perspective shifts, leading her to question the value and purpose of her meticulous record-keeping. This introspective journey offers poignant insights into how we relate to our past, the impermanence of experience, and the selective nature of memory. The 12174th greatest book of all time
