I’ve decided to provide a list of things I’ve read and/or am currently reading, with (perhaps) a little commentary, just in case anyone out there on the 'ol internet wants to discuss a book, story, or essay. Hit me up on Twitter or something (or, you know, if we’re friends "IRL," call me: chances are I miss the sound of your voice).
EDIT Jan 2022: Jesus this was out of date. I mostly have blown everything away for the time being.
Currently Reading
This is what’s currently in the cooker:
- Either Grendel or Crime and Punishment or something else
-
I’m in the mood for a reread, I guess.
- Distance Cycling by Dan Kehlenbach and John Hughes
-
Because I’m kinda dumb and think I’m going to try to do a full brevet series this summer (200k, 300k, 400k, and 600k). Not sure reading about it’s going to help, but —
- The People, Yes by Carl Sandburg
-
Yes, still crawling through this one.
- Brecht on Theater
-
HAHA yes, I’m still crawling through this too.
Recently Finished
These are things that are recent enough that I could probably talk about them semi-coherently, if you’d like to have a chat about them:
-
Too Loud a Solitude by Bohumil Hrabal
-
Beowulf: A New Verse Translation by Seamus Heaney
-
Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf (how I had not read this before I do not know)
-
Eddy Merckx: The Cannibal by Daniel Friebe
