The word interesting is now banned from this blog.

Managed to read 69 books last year - absolutely smashing my goal of 30. Going to bump it up to 50 this year. 2025 Book roundup coming soon.

I wonder if Anthony Bourdain ever read anything from A. J. Leibling. If Bourdain could match the way Leibling writes about food I think his early writing would have been just that bit better.

Mark Fisher’s blog posts says so much more than David Foster Wallace’s oeuvre in so many less words.

On a Philip K. Dick binge at the moment. His stories are similar enough that they’re rewarding to read and pick up how his ideas develop from book to book.

Already doubled my book target this year! Hoping I can get a few more shorter ones in before the end of the year.

Great video from Dungeon Chill about an old Japanese only ps1 game. Warning: it’s around 4 and a half hours long. I really hope this game gets a translation patch.

Spent all day inside again!

Updated my about page.

Waiting for this sim card adapter is going to kill me. I guess that’s what I get for trying to use an ancient phone. Started reading Flower Factory again, hope I can get through it without dropping it this time - beautiful book but it drags on towards the end.
