It's possible I took this survey. I kept a running tally this year, so know exactly how many books I read in 2025. As of an hour ago, 181. (Includes re-reads. No way I get through a year without a couple of swings through Moby-Dick.)
NEW: How many books did you read this year? If it was more than 2, congrats: you read more than the median American.

I do not understand how all these Silicon Valley goobs all read and obsessed over Tolkien, but clearly managed to completely miss the point

Out of nowhere...snow squalls. A good day to stay home and bake spice cake.

I had forgotten how much I like this Eno/Cale Wrong Way Up album

This is related to nothing but I really enjoy listening to music sung in a foreign language. I have been listening to a bunch of Brazilian music from the 60s and 70s this afternoon and I find it weirdly soothing. I have no clue what they're on about but I don't care that much

I don't much care for college football as a concept but the Dada of the Pop-Tarts Bowl gladdens my heart

When we first looked at the house we bought, there were A LOT of tvs...so many that we were like "this guy is either a Twitch streamer or a gambling addict." Anyway, I'm sure he will enjoy this Kalshi thing or whatever it's called

I won a statewide poetry contest in high school and my English teacher said "I have no idea what the judges were thinking here. Anyway, the prize comes with a scholarship for some reason"
What's an insult you'll never forget?

Merry Christmas to those of you who celebrate the Word made flesh. Sorry it took a while for me to get this out, I was busy making 100 posts on personal grievances and such, as one does on Christmas Day in the morning

So they release information that they have a million more documents at 3 pm on December 24th, surely no one will be paying any attention and the newsrooms will be on skeletal staffing

I don’t give a shit about your accomplishments this year. What’s the dumbest shit you did the past 12 months? The truly stupidest decision you made in 2025?

I have been approached by a lot of people to come up with "best-of" lists and have (mostly) declined (unless contractually obligated, which weirdly, I sort of am). Anyway, I will just take a moment to mention that there is a Best Radio Show You Are Sleeping On, and it is Reveal.
