reading

I read a lot. Mostly novels. I tend to get my non-fiction in article or essay form more than as a full length book. Though that is by no means a rule.

I highly recommend checking out Standard Ebooks. They produce great editions of public domain books (I have produced a few). Their editions are very high quality. They offer many common formats, as well as some cutting edge versions with great features. They use public domain art for their book covers. I highly recommend checking them out. There are some great works in their catalog.

Reading Lists

These lists are not necessarily complete, as I do not always remember to log here. They are mostly so that I can remember more easily the things I have read. That said, feel free to peruse and see if anything seems like something you'd like!

This year's list was written when I compiled the 2022 list. I didnt record dates of when I read everything, so this may not be 100% accurate and may include 2020 or 2019 books, and the order of reading is likely off. Future year's editions will be more accurate.
