Just started reading The Epic of Gilgamesh and the edition that I have, the Norton Critical Edition, is fantastic - loads of background detail and annotaions plus essays on the text. Real academic nerd shit. I’ll have to think about picking some more of these up if they’re all as good as this.

Cleaned up the site css a bit since having 3 or 4 different css files was bugging me. Due to the nature of stolen cloned code I’m still working between two. Probably an easy merge but I’m a lazy bastard.

Finally finished The Plantagenets. Great book but its no surprise that in a book about 250 years of history there’s times where it can drag. Still a very informative read that’s set me up nicely for some other books that I’ve been wanting to read but just didn’t have the background for yet.

The Dispossessed is a masterpiece and I’m surprised it’s taken me this long to get around to reading it.

I’ve been cooking up a new D&D world recently based on the reign of Edward III, maybe I should do a post or two about that.

Even books can be mindless consumption. As I finish more books I feel that reading, or any activity for that matter that doesn’t create value, can not be a fulfilling activity. Reading is a great enhancer of value but not an end to be desired.

This website definitely needs to be posted to more. I mainly just use it to update my books because I can’t stand goodreads.

I’ve got to start finishing some books, I’ve got way too many on the go at the moment and I haven’t bought a book in months

I’ve now got the scripts to spawn terminals so I can edit the files using vim

This is my first time trying out a command line interface for uploading posts
