This week I am capturing some running notes throughout. It means there will be more words here.
On Looking by Horowitz. Finished it. Good, lots of usable notes to be extracted. Many thoughts inspired by it. Expect to see a reading note sometime soon (ish).
What to read next? I have quite the large backlog, a lot of overhang to choose from. Maybe Borges. Maybe Alexie. I read the beginning of Kissa by Kissa, and by beginning I mean the first half. Or something really different for me: The Historian by Kostova.
I’ll finish the Craig Mod book and then read some Borges, I think.
Continuing to get my regular running back on.
Ezra Klein and Jia Tolentino (also transcripta). I have a few reactions, but probably the strongest was to the idea that we use our personal pocket internet engines (phones) as an escape from some aspect of reality, but the device is a prison/panopticon. And we must escape from its clutches back out into the real world for respite.
Ezra Klein and Harris’s DNC speech. It was politics and stuff.
Lots of good vegetarian grub. Swedish meatballs. Chickpea salad sandwich. Pesto beans again, and a Manresa Bread baguette. Rarely, some meat inclusive dishes too.
Bringing these back online slowly.
Starting to think it’s my turn to play TotK.
Things I am doing off and on.
These are books that I plan to take my time with. Maybe years.
Email me your slow long form yt channels with minimal talking.
