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 produce digital editions of classic works for Standard Ebooks. I also produce two magazines.
Productions
These are books I produced (proofread, produced the digital book version, selected artwork, etc).

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!

Read In 2021
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.
