I read books. I read more books. Sometimes, I read those books, but not those other books. Okay, I read those other books too.
I read Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao. I just cannot help thinking: Why do we treat women so poorly? Why do we restrict them in tight corsets, disfiguring foot bindings, or use them as Qi batteries to power gigantic mechs to fight an alien species?

I know it is confirmation bias, but hearing that something I do leans toward audhd characteristics feels so validating.
It may be worse than confirmation bias, it may just be fabricated, but, you know, I’m still taking it.

I’m reading some Alan Watts. I have read similar many times and it isnt what exactly is being said, but the feel of it.
It is meditation in reading. It is a mental brake and reminder to the mind to be slower.
We should all remember to read things that reset us from time to time.

I reread Sophie’s World, after finding a copy in a used bookstore.
It is a cute and cozy stroll through the history of philosophy. And I recommend it if that is all that you want.
Also, the way the fiction and nonfiction switch back and forth harmonizes with my adhd brain.

Im through three chapters of Louis Theroux’s Call of the Weird and everyone seems sad and lonely. Is being weird inherently lonely? Or is it that so many of us are just lonely.

I wish my despot won many battles and slew many a foe in hand to hand combat to get to the top. Getting elected despot is so lame.

I finished up Island Kill which is the third in the Cybernarc series, yes, there are more of these. It was fun. It has vigilante vengeance of an unstoppable robot splattering brains of the worst people out there. Such vigilantism shouldn’t exist in reality, but is wonderful in fiction. #books

I’m reading Cybernarc as my first book of 2025. I wanted silly over the top action and shooting. I didn’t want the sexual assault. Publish date is 1992, so I’m 30+ years late, but I’m still complaining that it is gross and unnecessary in this type of book.

I finished my 52 book a year reading goal. It is what I will do again in 2025. It feels like the right amount of books in my life.

I get these, “signs of highly intelligent people,” things on my feed. Which as far as I can conclude, means that im not highly intelligent, im just vain.

Okay, this is what I want. Streaming service where i can queue up like 50+ shows and movies, but i can flip through them like tiktoks. Watching hundreds of movies in 30 second bites. That is where my brain is at now.

The World Swappers by John Brunner. Published 1959. The quote on the cover, “Very enjoyable, very competent.” Things were a lot less hyperbolic then. I wish we turned down our current language to be a little more moderate.

As I read The Picture of Dorian Gray im enjoying how book dialogue is nothing like real life.
I like realistic art to be an illusion of reality and not a reflection. An actor portraying a college professor better not imitate the droning. I want a bombastic dramatic Al Pacino-like college professor.

I’m getting some used books for Christmas. My guidelines were that the cover should look cool and if you have heard of the book or the author, then I don’t want it.
I’m excited what got picked up.

I finished up this book today. It was a cozy lighthearted romp. I can’t wait to live through my own fascist paradise.
This was my 50th book read this year.

So, the protagonist is in an S&M relationship with a demonic typewriter… it’s only chapter 2.

My personal philosophy is Bleakism, which is the belief that shit is really bleak right now.
Also, im reading Fascism by Madeline Albright. It’s okay, seems bleak though.

I spent a couple of hours on StoryGraph putting in my data on some of my read books. I wish it was a better experience. It is like clicking through forms to fill out a spreadsheet – looks prettier, but takes longer and is more irritating.

Merely reading this book made me stink of musk, gunpowder, and day old cigarette smoke. I think the hyper-1970s-masculinity was just too much for me. I don’t recommend it, if you could even find it.
