webpage launch! hello!

my goal right now is to make a dent in my currently reading pile before the end of 2021. i expect to finish unnatural creatures this week, and possibly pirate cinema if i focus on it.


finished last week:

  • ra by sam hughes/qntm
  • gearbreakers by zoe hana mikuta
  • toki pona: the language of good by jan Sonja (sonja lang)

    • currently reading:

  • unnatural creatures by* neil gaiman (collection of short stories chosen by him)
  • the three-body problem by cixin liu
  • exhalation by ted chiang
  • quicksilver by neal stephenson
  • pirate cinema by cory doctorow
  • american gods by neil gaiman
  • catch-22 by joseph heller

    • want to read next:

  • if cats disappeared from the world by genki kawamura
  • the yiddish policemen's union by michael chabon
    • 002. 12/24/21

    on wednesday the 22nd i finished reading unnatural creatures, a collection of short stories selected by neil gaiman. i had a lot of fun with it! my favorite story was the cartographer wasps and the anarchist bees by E. lily yu. i rated unnatural creatures overall 4/5 stars. i got my copy in oregon at a little powell's airport kiosk in summer of 2019, while on my way to a wedding. :-)

    late post this week, but in my defense it's nearly christmas AND i haven't even officially started this challenge yet, so i think it's OK. before the end of the year i'd like to finish reading american gods and pirate cinema. american gods i've gotten back into the groove of, but pirate cinema i haven't touched in a while.

    (i've also kicked catch-22 off of my currently reading, since i wasn't very far in.)
