Reading
Books: on balance, I'm for them. These are most of the ones I've read since 2007 or so. The star ratings correspond more closely to "how worth my time this felt" than "how good this is."

This book was by turns challenging, funny, moving, parodic, and profound. Most importantly, though, it's different. You'll find yourself in a place at once familiar to your experience and foreign to your experience of reading. ..It's good!
